Turkeys, Clams & Lobster

Boston Minuteman Campground
Littleton, Massachusetts

As I sat down at the computer we noticed a family of turkeys walking through our campsite.  They were hanging around the picnic table like they were waiting for dinner.  If they were waiting for me to cook, they will have a long wait.  There were only two adults, but 17 little ones.  I always had trouble keeping track of two kids so I can't imagine 17.  What happens when they all turn into teenagers?



We drove out to Cape Ann today before we leave for Maine tomorrow.  We sure won't miss all the congested traffic round here.

We stopped at Woodman's for lunch, the home of the first fried clam in 1914.  We had heard a lot about this restaurant and expected it to be a nice dining establishment.  It turned out to be a unpretentious self-serve eatery.  Instead of picking your order up on a tray, the food was served in a cut off cardboard box.  No one cared because the food was excellent.  The restrooms were labeled "Buoys" and "Gulls".

Since we have been here TV programs have been frequently interrupted by "important breaking news".  This important news turned out to be about Tom Brady, "inflate gate" and whether the Supreme Court will hear his appeal.  With everything going on in the world today, it's nice to know that Boston has its priorities set.
