Two Bees and a Cat

We went to Minuteman Historical Park today. This place is located in Concord, MA, about 25 miles from Boston's Logan Airport.   You can get here by public transportation but there's a lot of walking involved. I'd recommend a car. Minuteman Historical Site is considered the site for the opening battle of the American Revolution. On April 19, 1775, ordinary farmers were pushed to their limits by the British Government.
