We first drove down into Massachusetts. Brenda and Bob are beekeepers, and they were checking out a honey extracting equipment company there.
From there, we drove up to York Beach, Maine, to see the Nubble Light, the most photographed lighthouse in Maine and one of the most-photographed in the United States. I love the water, and it was great to just be able to see this landmark and enjoy being by the water. 
There was a seafood restaurant there by the lighthouse, and we were able to have a table with a great view of the water, while I enjoyed my very first lobster ever. It has a good flavor; I think the texture takes a little getting used to, but I enjoyed it.
On Sunday afternoon we went to Portland, Maine. We took a trolley tour of the city and then took a ferry ride on the bay . The trolley stopped at the Portland Head lighthouse, for us to be able to enjoy this site (and of course--take pictures!). 
During the ferry ride. we saw several other lighthouses, so I included some pictures of a couple of those. It was a beautiful day! The trolley and the ferry were great ways to see the sights of Portland. What an enjoyable afternoon!
I took 150 pictures on our trip, so of course I won't be sharing all of those! But I know I'm going to feel compelled to share a few more posts about this great trip to the New England States.

The pictures are wonderful. My husband and I use to boat and our favorite thing to do would be visit all the light houses. Your pictures brought back memories.
Oh, I'm SO glad you're back! And I look forward to hearing/seeing more of your trip!
Do you know that song, "I thank God for the Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him....Jesus is the lighthouse...." (I can't remember all the words, but it's neat)?
Please show more pictures of your trip...Maine is beautiful!
