We woke up in Somerset, MA and began Maddy's quest for the perfect Boston Creme Pie (for breakfast, of course). Thanks to Google, we found it at Lyndell's bakery (http://www.lyndells.com/). Rather than buying a few pastries like normal folks, we bought a whole pie, a half gallon of milk and broke out the paper plates/cups in a nearby park. Maddy was thrilled with the results!
After pie-breakfast, we headed north through New Hampshire.
We went to Maine with the intention of taking this first picture and turning around, so we could say that we'd been in Maine. But we cruised in a few miles to York Harbor and absolutely fell in love with the Maine coast. We stayed a few hours, which was a long time considering our goal of getting through New Hampshire, Vermont and into NY State. Maine was incredible!
The water wasn't quite as cold as Northern CA ocean water. But it was chilly.
Our future summer home:
The Nubble Lighthouse, on it's own little island.
Back to the car and farewell to our beloved Maine!
And then we did this for about 6 hours...
And some of this...
Lots of this...
It was mostly dark through New Hampshire, which on Route 9 was one long, long series of rolling hills and green forrest. Nice, but a couple hours would've been plenty.
Green Mountain State? We thought that was NH! Unfortunately, our prolonged stay in Maine meant that we cruised through lower Vermont in the dark - boo hoo! We could tell before sunset that the mountains got higher and the space more open, so we're guessing it was pretty and there were a few cows and ice cream lovers. Wilmington, VT had a beautiful little downtown that Joanna may take me back to (yeah, antiques).
We got as far as Schenectedy, NY where all 6 of us crashed in a Holiday Inn, with Lilly and Sophie volunteering for floor duty. ZZzzzzzz...
