The 2nd half of our trip

I am so ready to be done posting about this trip and get onto halloween and Tyler's birthday stuff. Here we go....we loved watching the steam rise from the hillside, it was a rainy day this day.
Longest bridge
Snapped this as we drove by....
Cool old barn snapped as we drove...

This was a pedestrian bridge in Littleon, New Hampshire. We stayed just a stones throw away from it.


This is the Thayers Inn which we stayed our 3rd night. It was a 4 story hotel used as a hotel 100 years ago, too. Lots of cool history inside, too. It was on main street, so close to a handful of shots. At night, it was raining and Michael and Cali and I sat out on the balcony just above the blue sign. It was really cool and cozy. See Michael in orange below?

The river under this bridge in Littleton.


Michael suggested I tried to get this artistic shot with the flowing water. I dragged my shutter, but didn't have a tripod to set the camera on, so it is slightly blurry. This is hiking at the Franconia flume gorge We had to pay for this hike, but it was pretty cool.

Just love that baby... I had a railing to set my camera on for this one.

Tree root growing through the granite
Pretty view
Cool tree
Strong baby legs
Sorry, I just love baby pictures



We were warned of moose and saw lots of signs, but unfortunately, saw no moose:( We liked the warnign below it..."HUNDREDS of collisions."



She loved gnawing on this apple, I like Michael's smile, too. From Franconia Notch State Park, we drove 2 hours to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine. We stayed in Scarborough, Maine, near the Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse. Aparently it is the most photographed lighthouse. I think it is in Forever Young? We got there just at sunset.


The beach by our B&B
It was so peaceful to just sit and look out these windows facing the ocean. Michael LOVES the ocean, so I found this spot just for him. We had the windows open at night and slept to the sound of the waves crashing.

Our morning stroll

Cali's first sand/ocean experience.





The Breakers Inn, we stayed in the Tower Room because I knew Michael would love the sloped ceilings and wood walls. I really liked how they did breakfast, too. They had a menu and we circled what we wanted. Since it was already included...I circled just about everything. Maine Blueberry Juice (how could I pass that up?) Orange Juice, toast, sunny side up eggs, pancakes, blueberry muffin, bacon, ham, good stuff.

THE END! Closing the chapter on our trip. It was awesome! Celebrating 10 years of marriage, so grateful for the man I chose to marry.

Incredible. I think the rivers and waterfalls are a favorite. But the beach and Maine look pretty spectacular too. What a memorable trip!
