A great trip to New England

Joseph and I ventured off to New England Friday night through yesterday. We had a great time but missed the kiddos terribly!

We visited Salem, MA and saw all of the witch trial sites. I bet that town is crazy during Halloween season.

You can't go to Boston without seeing Cheers!

I can't believe the people of Boston aren't all 300 pounds. There is literally a Dunkin Donuts on every corner. It turned into a game for Joseph and I to see who could spot one first. ( I finally had to have my share on the way to the airport leaving Boston.)


My favorite part of the trip was a whale watch. The pictures don't do it justice but we saw several whales while we were out on the ocean. (This is a mother and her calf)



The old state house. The site where the declaration of independence was read for the first time on Boston (on the balcony you see.)





We went on the Freedom trail in downtown Boston. I am not the usual history buff but it is so neat to see all of the sites in Boston of our first years as a country.


Kennebunkport, Maine


Me in Maine. We drove through New Hampshire and spent some time in Kennebunkport, Maine. It is such a great little town. Joseph got his Maine lobster and I had a lobster roll and New England clam chowder a great local restaurant.
