Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.

Oh well, we expect it and would hardly seem like Memorial day weekend if it didn't rain up here! Of course summer is not officially due for another month anyway so guess we can take it ok. Since bridge collapse on the I-5 corridor we aren't too excited about getting out and about anyway. Traffic being diverted and causing terrible back ups - plan to leave on Thursday so hopefully we'll get out during a slow period.
