Memorial Day weekend, Frances, Mark and I went to Concord, MA, to poke around. The highlight for Mark came early in the trip: Frances's first shoulder ride. She seemed to really enjoy herself and had a great time grabbing at leaves.

After wandering through town, we walked out to where the American Revolutionary War began.

On Sunday, we went to the DeCordova Museum and Statue Garden. It was lovely strolling around 35 acres of statues.
