The Maine Event and More

I realize it's been a while since I've updated, but we've been busy, and I've been lazy. This post will be mostly pictures from our Memorial Day weekend trip to Maine and northeast Mass., as well as an outing to Boston for a Sawx game, and some other random shots I had on my phone.

The Maine Event

Before we hit the road, we asked Dubu to help us plot our route to the Pine Tree State.



Of course, before he could read the map, he had to put on his reading spectacles.

On the Road

York Beach, a small beach south of Kennubunkport, Maine.



Another shot of York Beach, which was busy and a little rocky looking.



A beach somewhere in Maine we saw only from the road.



Getting closer to our first destination, Kennebunkport, a locale best known as the summer home of the Bush family.



The beach at Ft. Williams State Park, Cape Elizabeth, Maine.



The ruins of what appeared to be a mid-19th century building at Ft. Williams.

To The Lighthouse

This is a lighthouse located at the State Park, of somewhat historic provenance.



The lighthouse, which apparently was the inspiration for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, "The Lighthouse."



A plaque, supporting my previous statement.



On the way back to Mass., where we stayed for the night, we stopped off to play a quick round of mini golf in Ogunquit, another super-touristy area along the Maine coast.



The course was quite impressive, featuring water falls, rivers and other large ornamental decorations. Unfortunately, I cannot recall who won the match.

En Mass.

Here Sarah is in front of our full beach stop, Salisbury Beach, in the very northeastern corner of Massachusetts.



Me in the same spot.



A distant look at the Salisbury shore.

I plan to post again shortly, though already overdue, about our trip to Fenway. So look out for that.
