Walter

Henry spent a week on an archaeological dig in England (his graduation present). He met the locals, including a sweet cat named Walter. 

Maine trip report - Day 7

Our week toodling around New England came to an end, so we headed back to NEC to watch Geo's final concert. Then it was time to head home to our landlocked state. At least we caught some (illegal) fireworks on our drive home.

We had a long drive from Brunswick to Boston, so we decided that the best way to get there would be to go through Williamstown. We replaced Sharky Josh's Gettysburg hoodie with a Williams hoodie. We had dinner at the Water Street Grill before making our way to Boston.

Is Josh smart enough to go here?

Maine trip report - Day 5

It was time to start wending our way to Boston. This was mostly a travel day. We detoured to visit Fort George because that's a weird nickname that R and H call Geo.

We ended the day at LL Bean in Freeport, which is in temporary quarters while they build a new mother ship.

Acadia has been on M's bucket list forever, and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation to drive up Cadillac Mountain. We scoffed at how sad the elevations are around here (living in Colorado makes us elevation snobs), but the views were epic.

We ended the day with a sunset cruise on a schooner, and D helped hoist the sails.

We had to truck it to get from Boothbay to Bar Harbor, so we skipped some our planned sights and focused on what else, lighthouses.

We drove up to Boothbay Harbor and on the way saw the famous Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, which is absolutely gorgeous. Time to get a family compound!

We detoured to visit a cool classic car museum in Arundel before hitting another lighthouse.

Portland Head Lighthouse 

We drove through Brunswick to pay homage to a Civil War hero we named our Gettysburg shark, Sharky Josh, after.

Then it was time to settle into a corner room at the Topside Inn with an amazing view.
