Anniversary Trip

We left Milton Friday morning 5-27-2009 around 11 for Newfoundland. We are traveling with Kay and Frank, dear friends from high school days, and Bob and Diane, good friends from WBCCI. We were all married 45 years ago within 2 months of each other so this is our gift to each other.
Our house was roofed on Thursday and we should come home to new siding. It should look like a new place.
We met Bob and Diane at a rest stop in NY and stopped at a Walmart in Connecticut for our first day. Saturday we continued up the east coast stopping at Freeport ME to check out LL Bean. The drive up rt 1 is just beautiful, with harbors and stunning real estate all along the way. We stopped in Ellsworth ME at an Elks Club from where we toured Arcadia National Park stopping at beautiful harbors and rocky ledges. Cadillac mountain overlooks Bar Harbor with trails around rocky cliffs and small windblown trees. It is cool and windy here, a beautiful place to visit but I’ll stay where it’s warmer. We sampled the lobsters at two spots along the way. I tasted but stuck with beef! The guys met a Lobster fisherman who offered to take them out with him when we come back to Maine later. They will have to work on the lobster boat, he puts out 800 traps but not until July and August. I hope it works out for them.
Tuesday we headed for the border and crossed into New Brunswick with no problems driving along the Bay of Fundy to Moncton and Stonehedge campground for three days.
We will check out the tides here tomorrow.
