The story
In August of 2008, we went on our annual vacation to New Hampshire. This year, however, we stopped at Quincy to visit the Adams's tombs. We arrived in Quincy and located the First Unitarian Church. After we entered, we were able to sit in the Adams's pew, and afterwards, we headed to the basement crypt. The basement itself was abit creepy, but we finally located the tombs with the help of a tour guide.

Ironically, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4th, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, hours apart. Adams in Massachusetts, Jefferson in Virginia. Adams's last words were "Jefferson Lives", which were considered a tribute to his lifelong friend, Thomas. However, Thomas Jefferson had died a few hours prior to this, which was unknown to Adams.
