We found the northern New England coast to be beautiful. We drove up a coast road and just drove up from New Hampshire to Maine, going by beaches, beautiful houses (some mansions), light houses, and little sea side villages. Still quiet on a Friday morning this time of year.We stopped at a beach to play on the sand. Boy was that water cold!
Found a nice park at Nubble Lighthouse, where we rock hopped and looked around in tide pools. Then we had lunch from a little sea food shack. Lobster bisque, lobster roll, fish and chips, fish sandwich and cole slaw, split family style in the RV. A very nice drive this morning.
For the after noon we drove on to L.L. Bean in Freeport. It is a very nice series of stores covering everything from bikes, to housewares, clothing, to fishing and hunting.
This was also our "turning point", as we round the corner and start heading for home, albeit 3000+ miles away. We expect to make a much quicker trip home, maybe in time for Luke's birthday.
We also made a not too glamorous stop at a laundromat, and found a Chinese food restaurant for easy dinner. The Dunkin Donut shop provided some food for tomorrows breakfast. One stop shopping!
Found a campground not too far away and called it a night.
P.S. I am also including some additional pictures from Boston, since I have only figured out how to put a max of 5 pictures per post.
The solider memorial was fun because the kids recognized it. We had seen a plaster version in the Smithsonian, and then we came around the corner in Boston and found the Bronze. It was a tribute to the black soldiers in the Civil War, and the white officers who took a risk in leading them.
The other picture is of Paul Revere's house.
