So, the "snow event" was basically just a dusting (Vermont-style), but I cut a few things out of our planned stops in Maine and took it easy this morning...
Our car still looked like this when we hit the road mid-morning...
and my South Carolinian children still looked like this...
but don't worry, we DO have appropriate clothing and shoes...
So, rather than taking the northeastern state routes through the mountains, we kept to the interstates and headed south down to Manchester, NH...
and then, north up to Maine, our final destination for this trip...
From the welcome center, we pretty much booked it straight to Bangor, ME and visited the grave of Vice President Hannibal Hamlin...
Hannibal Hamlin served as the 15th Vice President of the United States during President Abraham Lincoln's first term. He was succeeded by Andrew Johnson, who went on to become president after Abraham Lincoln's assassination...
From Bangor, we turned around and headed back south, and it felt good to be starting the slow trek home!
Our next stop was in Augusta, ME to run up the state capitol building steps...
We grabbed dinner at local dive, Whipper's Pizza...
before continuing on to our hotel, just making one quick pit stop at the flagship L.L. Bean store and the BIG boot (like last time)!
Making our way into Boston, MA tomorrow!
