We spent most of a day touring the Adams birthplaces, Peacefield, the Adams Library, as well as the church where John and Abigail Adams and John Quincy Adams and Louisa Adams are interred. Our guides were great and we very much enjoyed the tour. Peacefield and the library are packed with actual Adams memorabilia. You will need tickets from the National Park Service (available online, and free, other than a $1 processing fee, if you have a NPS pass.) The day we went, they had plenty of walk-in availability, but this is not so during the summer months. Be sure to allow 30 minutes before your tour to enjoy the film that "sets the stage" for the tour. Highly recommend this if you can make time in your Boston visit. It is easily accessible by subway and worth the time.

Sunday morning my husband surprises me with a stop at Granite Links clubhouse-The Tavern for Brunch. Well it is set high above the area and over looks the Boston skyline. It was a brisk 9 degrees with the a windchill take brought it to below zero. The club house is lovely and the Tavern well designed. We asked for a table near the window so we could overlook Boston. The brunch was a special menu with all the usual breakfast fair. The food was good and the staff very nice. We want to go back for dinner.
