GalleryOn Saturday, December 31, I took my mom and Abby to visit Concord. We first went to Orchard House, the home of Louisa May Alcott. We toured the home, and you can too with this virtual tour.

After visiting the home, I took the girls to the Colonial Inn for lunch. While we were eating, it began to snow— the only time that it snowed while I was home. After we were finished, we went outside to take pictures and to let Abby examine snowflakes.

We then went to the Old North Bridge, by which “the once-embattled farmers stood” and upon which Abby sang Emerson’s “Concord Hymn.” After taking a few pictures of my mom and Abby and of Abby and me, we went left the snowy outdoors for the warmth of a used bookstore.

All of the photos linked to in this post can be seen in the gallery.
