It is April vacation, and we have decided to do some fun things each day. On Patriot's Day, we decided to see the Boston Marathon. While I have seen it dozens of times in person, Emmie, Bri, and Kiff have never seen it in person.
We drove down to Natick, where we went to the end of Boden Lane - the historic spot that I used to watch it with my Dad, my Mom, Mark, and Debbie - as well as my friends. It brought back lots of memories.
Kiff and Bri had a good time. We got down just in time to see the women's elite leaders go through. We saw some of the wheelchair athletes as well as some of the men's runners, too.
It was interesting to see how security has changed over time along the route. There were tons of police motorcycles and intermittent state police cars going by.
Although we only stayed for 30 minutes or so because it was rainy...but it was fun to see. When we got home, we actually saw the women's runners that we watched in Natick pass through the finish line.
Definitely a great memory.
