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. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
Timing worked out for us to take the these "grands" on a day hike down to the beach. Worked out that it was low tide so we were able to see quite a bit of the beach. Rebekah did not need a shovel to go clam digging. She used her hands to chase after the clams that dared to spit at her! Was so funny to see her digging after them. She did catch a few, unfortunately she caught them without their shell so that was the end of them but fun just the same. Quite a number of folks although trail is rather steep in parts and a bit rough. No problem for these youngsters! Us older folks were breathing a bit heavy towards the top! We do not get a lot of these beautiful days so happy we were able to take advantage and get out and do something like this.
