Day 172–“V” is for “Visit Gardner Village”

This turned into another educational trip, by accident.  I guess that’s what happens when the kids hang out with 2 former teachers (mom and grandma)  for the day.  Grandma Carmen discovered that the kids could complete a scavenger hunt throughout the village and get a free lunch at Archibald’s (one of our favorite restaurants) so we did it.  We learned a few new things about the history of Gardner Village like how tall the water wheel is (16 feet if you were wondering), which house didn’t have an indoor bathroom until the mid 1950’s and that the Spa used to house small arms during WWII.

Justin should have come with us.  He thought Gardner Village was built about 15 years ago….
