This place has a historical marker! I was honored just to be there. The main part of the home was built over 160 years ago.
The house is like a museum; everything is decorated and placed perfectly, and all the rooms are so warm and charming. Alice has done a beautiful job. And yes, I took my two little boys to this pristine, historical home. I was more than a little nervous, but really the boys did so well. George and Alice have grandchildren and were really happy to have the boys there. It definitely helped me relax!
They ran all over the place and explored every room. They made more than a dozen trips up and down the stairs and traipsed all over the grounds outside.
We've been here once before back before Will was born for a family reunion. Matt was 2.
We posed him on the rocks again. That kid is big!
It was a really enjoyable day. We had a lovely lunch, and the adults talked genealogy for a good while. 
It actually rained while we were there and it cooled off considerably, so we were able to sit on the front porch for a few hours. It was so nice. We hope to visit again soon.

Recently, I took the boys to the Children's Museum downtown. Matt spent most of his time in the grocery store portion of the museum busying himself with baskets and recycling milk bottles with some other kids he met there. Will was all over the place, but his favorite was the train track. He had a hard time sharing even though there were plenty of trains for all the kids. I had to steer him away at one point. Have I told you that he's 2? Well, he's definitely 2.
So, we still haven't gotten rid of our red couch. Perhaps that is a good thing because the boys jump on them everyday. And I do mean jump.
