2011 New England Trip by Suki

Hey, how about them Huskers thumping on the Buckeyes last night? I'm still excited.

I wanted to share some thoughts and photos from my recent trip to the New England area. It was an amazing five days traveling the coast to Camden, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in Maine to go sailing and lobster fishing, then to Plymouth, Massachusetts for some whale watching and finished up in Hyannisport and other coastal towns on Cape Cod.

I enjoyed this trip with my friend, Debbie, and we were lucky to enjoy great weather, wonderful B&B accommodations, outstanding cuisine, interesting shopping and fabulous rides on the sea. Our only down moment? We watched the Nebraska/Wisconsin game at the...well, you get it.

Some of our other activities included a visit to see the real Plymouth Rock, the JFK and Korean War Memorial, stalking the Kennedy Compound, watching surfers and seals at play, bike riding 26 miles along the Cape Cod coast, and admiring the architectual beauty of New England homes, harbors and lighthouses.

Sailing on a schooner. Peaceful yes, but notice the white knuckles hanging on.
Lobster Fishing. Can't leave lobsters too long in a trap. They eat each other. Without butter.

At Bar Harbor, Maine. Loved how the locals ignore the letter R. It's "Ba Ha-Ba" and "you can't get they-ya from he-ya."
Top of Cadillac Mountain (Acadia Natl Park). Cadillac Mountain is the highest point along the North Atlantic seaboard and is the first place to view sunrise in the entire United States from Oct 7 through March 6. I love lighthouses!

Whale watching was beyond amazing...

Farewell to the beautiful Atlantic ocean

Love to all! Suki
