We just got back from TJ's first trip to New England. We started by traveling to Portsmouth, NH where we visited Gino's family. We went to a lobster pound in Kittery, Maine and then drove up the coast to Portland, Maine. The next morning, after a scrumptious breakfast at Becky's Dinner (nothin's finer), we set out to join Jamie, Simone, Catherine and Elizabeth in North Haven, Maine -a small, rustic island oasis north of Boothbay Harbor. After 2 days of boating, crabbing and bike rides, we then traveled across New Hampshire to Burlington, Vermont to visit the Johnsons. In Vermont, TJ got to drive a boat, ride an alpine slide, play in a mountain stream and eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream. On the least leg, we stopped in Saratoga and Albany to visit some of my college friends. His highlight there was driving a firetruck and holding the hose! TJ was lucky, because at every stop he had great playmates. Here are some pics..
