New England ~ Concord, Lexington, Maine ~ Tuesday

On Tuesday morning we rented a car {a first for us} and headed out of Boston. Our first stop was Lexington and Concord. This was one of the areas that Jason most wanted to see, he loves history. Not that I don't, I just prefer relaxing on the beach ;-)

where the battle started

i loved this tree

the lines that are mowed in the grass indicate the routes the troops took

gorgeous view

such a gorgeous day!!

After we visited Concord we headed to Salem. Again, it was somewhat on the way and since we were so close we decided why not. Salem was a cute and accessable little town. It was easy to walk through and led to an enjoyable afternoon.

probably as close as I'll get to seeing my name on a sign

Tallship Friendship.

In the Captain's Quarters

Sailing ;-)

After touring around Salem we headed North to Maine!! Maine is definitely somewhere I would like to go back to someday. It definitely reminded us of the Oregon/Washington Coast, maybe that is why we enjoyed it so much.

we made it to the Atlantic!!

Enjoying the chilly beach!!
