Happy Birthday, America!

A lovely Fourth of July here in the cradle of the country. The Yankees lost, but everything else was pretty great. We relaxed at home in the morning, waiting out a thundershower, then strolled downtown for lunch and a little shopping. Came home around 1 to watch the first couple hours of the aforementioned Yankees/Red Sox game, then hit the beach in New Castle, N.H. Amy forgot the hamburgers, but the hot dogs (organic, but not tofu!) were tasty, as were the potato salad and Ghiardelli brownies. Lincoln enjoyed his first taste (and I do mean taste) of sand and Greta collected a substantial haul of beach rocks and shells. (She called them "her marvelous treasure.")
