This is the JFK Presidential Library and Museum located outside of Boston. This picture was taken on our Boston Harbour Cruise last September.

Dad & I in Boston

Just about every place I go I take an "idiot" photo. That's where I hold the camera out and take a picture of myself with the site in the background. Many of these end up having weird of hilarious facial expressions. This picture is the only idiot photo I have ever taken where someone is in it with me. This is from the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston last September.

See the whole collection of idiot photos from that trip here.

Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP

This is the old homestead and farm of these important American families. It now focuses on preservation of the surrounding Green Mountians.

Minuteman NHP

This park contains the Revolutionary War Battlefields of Lexington & Concord. The top picture is a memorial that marks the site where Paul Revere was captured. The bottom photo is the Minuteman statue near the battlefield where the first shots of the war were fired.

Salem Maratime NHP

This National Park unit protects the old waterfront of this important colonial shipping port. This picture is of the Friendship of Salem, a replica of a shipping vessel of the time.
Salem is more famous for the Salem Witch Trails of 1692, which still attracts more visitors to the town than the National Park does.
