I thought I would share some photographs I took this time last year of our vacation to Maine. So dear readers, I will ,over the next week, post photos of "our trip to Maine".
Today we would have left for Maine. So.............
We choose to do the trip up to Maine in 2 days. (It takes about 10 hours straight through if you travel the horrendous interstates through New York, Connecticut , Massachusetts, and into Portland). We rather do the slower scenic route. Our trip takes us up through the farmland of eastern New York and we cross over and stay the night in Bennington, Vermont. The artist Grandma Moses was from the area, and there is a museum of her work there. There was also a pivotal early battle during our American Revolution, The Battle of Bennington. We then travel the Molly Stark Byway into Maine. Molly was the the wife of a Revolutionary War General. If you have the time "Google" her name. She was a real patriot.
In the older, colonial part of the town is this church. The poet Robert Frost is buried in the church yard cemetery. When ever it comes into view I know I am in New England.
