Christmas Trip - Day 5

Woke at 0730 and drove back to Watertown (MA-3, I-93, I-95, MA-16). Christa told me she wanted to see some of the good history around here, so I decided to take her to Concord. We left her place at 0900 and headed over to I-95 (passed Bentley College on the way - I did Boy's State there in the 80s...). Used MA-2A and found Battle Road near Concord. Drove into town and found Old North Bridge. Went to visitor's center and looked around a bit - it was kind of rainy and cold, but we had fun anyway. Stopped by Lexington Village Green on the way back towards Boston. Used MA-2A to take Christa over to Salem - she wanted to see the Witch Museum. Found US-1 and took I-93 to the North Shore. Parked in town and walked around. Ended up eating lunch at the Viva Restaurant (Italian) - and it really started to pour outside by then. Walked around looking for Witch Museum for awhile - ended up lost and asked for directions. Eventually found the place - watched the show. Christa thought the museum was a real hoot - she laughed a good bit (it really hasn't changed since I went there in the 1970s...). Decided to go back to Boston - took MA-1A and then MA-16 - lots of traffic north of Boston. Tried to take her to the Museum of Science, but got trapped on Storough Drive. Eventually gave up and went back to Watertown. Watched TV and then went over to Fresh Pond Mall with Christa to see "Addams Family" at the theatre. Ended up watching TV with her and talking until 0200. Back to South Weymouth at 0230 and bed...
