Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Ben & Jerry

Our longest day of driving. We left Boston at 9:00AM and arrived at our first stop, Kennebunkport, Maine, an hour or so later. What a beautiful little town. We dipped our toes in the Atlantic Ocean and even stopped at a place called Poofberry's, a nice little toy store where Josh got some more Thomas trains(!) From there, we settled in for a long drive across New Hampshire and Vermont under cloudy (and sometimes drizzly) skies. It had finally started to clear when we arrived at the Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour. We learned how they make all the yummy ice cream. There were free samples at the end of the tour (Banana On The Rum). We all had an ice cream before loading in the van for the short ride to our hotel, the Holiday Inn in South Burlington, Vermont. It seems nice, but after 9 days, all the hotels are starting to look the same. This place has two pools (indoor and outdoor), so the boys are happy. Tomorrow, we take to the high seas...

Boy, what a vacation you're having! Sounds like a lot of fun to me!!! I'm sure the hotels are getting weary, but the memories are great. Is Josh and Justin still doing okay? Hope all is going well. Take care, enjoy, and know that I love you all.
