A Sunny Somerville Day to Start 2023

 It was so warm and sunny today, it definitely felt like spring.  We decided to take advantage of the warm weather to get out and explore our city.

First stop was the Tower for the ceremony commemorating the raising of the first colonial flag at the command of General George Washington.  




Then we decided to take the new Green Line Extension (the GLX as the cool kids say) and get off at every stop.  (We ended up missing one but we'll get that another day.)  


At the Medford/Tufts stop we walked around and found a nice bakery, cafe for lunch.  

Then we stopped at Ball Square.  I was super impressed with this square.  It appears to be the diner/hair salon capital of Somerville.  JO and I definitely put some places on our "come back and visit" list.

We also walked over to Powder House Square and found this amazing park, complete with a lamb statue?



Our last stop was Gilman Square, which we walked home from.  It was a really fun way to explore our city.  I guess we are really Somervillians now!
