For my 51st birthday, I took a weekend trip to Boston on a gravesite photo tour. On my actual birthday (July 8), I visited five Supreme Court justices, starting with Cushing's grave to the south in Scituate, and later at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge where I visited Frankfurter, Gray, Story, and Curtis. On the 9th, I was scheduled to take a train back to Cleveland, but I wanted to visit the graves of John and John Quincy Adams at United First Parish Church in nearby Quincy MA. You are supposed to schedule your visit during regular hours, but I was unsure if the tours were still available due to covid. I reached out for info and nobody got back to me in time, so I figured the only way I was going to get my pictures was to actually go to church.

So Sunday morning, I packed my suitcase and took a train to Quincy in the hopes of being able to sneak down to see it. I was treated to a fabulous church service where they were doing a study of Buddhism.
