Trip to Maine

Mike and I just got back yesterday from a 25th-anniversary trip to Maine. We hit a lot of places, including Washington DC (one day) and, for you baseball fans, one night in Boston where we took in a game at Fenway Park! What an experience!

I don't want to repost pictures here - don't want to bore people, but if you are interested, you can go to my personal blog to see several picture posts. Probably most of this week I will be putting up either pictures or other interesting things about the trip on that blog.

Maine is beautiful. Water, water, everywhere! All those "fingers" of peninsulas going down into the Atlantic, with hundreds of islands, inlets, coves - you are never far from water. Just as refreshing as the views are what you don't see - Very few chain restaurants or stores, just antique stores, art galleries, and local eateries and motels.

We also saw George H.W. Bush's house - and Bush himself driving his boat!

We put 2839 miles on the van, and except for a rock hitting the windshield on the last day, had no problems at all. The only time that was difficult was driving through Boston. The tunnels, bridges (high and old), traffic, and aggressive drivers just about finished us off. Other than that, even the driving was good.


Well, here's just one picture just to give you an idea of the views and whet your appetite.
