Traveled 100 miles one way to check out some of the new Danish .30-06 ammo at Four Seasons Guns in Woburn, MA. Did not want to go all that way just for some ammo so I decided to look at something I have wanted for a while but could not seem to find in Western MA. And ended up walking out with a new loaded Springfield Armory M1A, blue steel and walnut. From the looks of the "loaded" coupon I may end up spending as much on accessories as I did the rifle!
On the way home I did something else I have wanted to do for a while. My five-year old son and I stopped at the Minute Man National Historical Park in the Lexington and Concord area. Very nice place, we walked part of it and I talked to him about what the colonists faced way back then (he's only five but this is the time to start with simple concepts and work up). To my surprise he seemed to understand and wants to go back and walk the whole trail! What a kid! We had him when I was 47 and he has been a real blessing.
So I considered this a great day. Dad and son spending some quality time together. Getting a new M1A. And visiting where it all started.
