Walden 1996

These are pictures from when I was a Walden Pond in 1996.  This was our final family vacation also.  We went to my Father’s parents home in New Hampshire and then to Boston.  After being subjected to Basketball (ugh) games and other family vacation crap I dragged my family to Salem and then to Walden Pond.  Sadly, it was raining by the time we got to Walden (of course) and we only stayed for a little while.  I was never a big fan of vacations with the family anyway.  One of these years, I will have to get back up there to visit again.
