A trip to remember ...

This was our main-e vacation for the year. Over 5000 miles, 4 plane flights, hours (and hours) in the car, temperatures ranging from 50 to 95, fresh and salt water, laughter with family and new friends, tons of kids, more ice cream than is good for anyone and a chance to visit three states we have never seen. Traveling with two children under the age of three had its moments of insanity, but we were impressed with what they endured and how much we were able to see and do. The rest of this post has pictures from the end of the trip.


While visiting Boston it is required that you take the "T" and the kids thought it was a riot. Total strangers gave advice on how to get around, admired both the kiddos, and chatted with us like long-lost relatives.



Slater's favorite Frog Pond statue. There were many to choose from, but he loved the one with the goggles. This type of thing would be wonderful in Fairbanks, I heard that it is even used as an ice-rink during the winter and we could always use another one of those. The pond was only about 6 inches deep, which is absolutely perfect for toddlers (and parents) wanting to cool off in the heat.



The architecture and the flora was drastically different from what we are used to. We could have wandered the country side in Maine and the streets of Boston for days enjoying the buildings and gardens.

So the following 10 entries show our time in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Hope you enjoy reading about it as much as we enjoyed going.
