The Patriots Hall of Fame
Note, this was written in August 2024 to recreate a post which was lost but which I would like to reference. Old computer(s), Google Drive, Facebook, etc. were all searched for context, but not much was able to be recovered. We will try to add some details, but as our memories have faded, this may well be all that we have left of that moment in time.

This particular post was an "Adventure" because it just was. The other four stops we went to earlier in the day or the day before felt more like 'Day Tripin' and can be found in our other blog with that name... or click the links here. See posts: The Rectory School, III; Wheaton College, III; Nature Trail and Cranberry Bog; Bass Pro Shop.
Nicole and I visited The Hall for the first time. I believe I had we went because I had wanted to see the new Super Bowl Trophy they won the prior season. It only took them ten years, not too bad; better than most.
[As stated in the preamble, I’m posting this quickly so I can reference it, ten years after the fact. I’ll come back and try to write down my memories of the visit later]
The final picture gets it’s own text because Nicole is just that cool. I like Adidas as a brand, so unbeknownst to me, whatever make or model sneaker she was wearing at the time wins championships. I surround myself with greatness.
And I’m isolating this picture to show the “Duck Boat” that the Patriots were carried in during their six championships. To be honest, I don’t know what that is… did they salvage part of a boat they were going to scrap for this display purpose, because I’ve been in the boats and they don’t look like that at all.
If you wanted to see the picture I’ve taken of the “Champion” parades just click on the tab at the bottom and look for the Patriots, Red Sox, or Bruins’ posts. Or for the boats themselves, “Duck Tour.”
“The Duck Boat, missed opportunity for a duck face. ”
