We're out of Rockland, MA! Sure, tomorrow we will be back (probably) but for today we are out of Massachusetts, and in Maine.
This morning we woke up, waited for the dealership to call about the part we ordered, and grabbed a quick breakfast, but the dealership never called, so Leah phoned and they said they forgot to order the part, so at about 12, we hopped into the car and headed north to New Hampshire and Maine!
We have officially seen 22 states on this trip (including California and D.C.).
(List of all of the states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine.)
It's crazy! This is about as far away as we can get within the continental US from home! (we could technically drive further north in Maine, but we need to get back to Boston tomorrow afternoon)
We tried to stop for lunch in New Hampshire, but there was no parking and the roads were pretty confusing where we tried to stop, and we were going through such a small part of NH we decided to just continue north to Maine. In Maine we drove up to Old Port Portland where we found Italian food for lunch, then we walked around the city for a bit. After that, we found a hotel in South Portland for the night (very proud of ourselves, we found our hotel around 5 pm, rather than 8 pm as we have the past few nights). We dropped our luggage off at the hotel, then drove to see three of Maine's famous lighthouses. Leah faced her fears of lighthouses, and decided they weren't all that scary. We watched the sun set across the river and I stuck my toes back into the ocean at a cobble stone beach.
After that, we made our way to the hotel, stopping at Sea Dog for some beer. They were having trivia night in the bar area of the restaurant, so we stayed for a little over half of the game. We didn't do amazingly, but we did get quite a few points that we were proud to have earned.
All in all, a wonderful and exciting day!
Tomorrow's plans are to wake up, shower, load up the car, eat breakfast, drive back down to Boston to meet up with Leah's parents in the afternoon. Hopefully during that time, the Toyota dealership will call and let us know what is going on with the part we ordered.
Just a few more days of the trip left! It's so sad. I'll be flying home from Boston on Saturday and Leah will be driving back with her parents.
Good night, <3 Al
After that, we drove back down to
