We left Boston in the early afternoon, and headed to the Lobster Shack in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Mark's allergic to shellfish, so he ate some fish and laughed at me eating a whole lobster for the first time. Those suckers are tricky, I tell ya! I think it took me an hour or so to eat, and I nearly puked when I cracked the head off and the green slime came pouring out, but it was a fun adventure. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're ever in the area; it was so pretty eating with water all around us.
After eating, we walked around a nearby park and visited the Portland Head Light, the oldest light house in the US.
Then we continued driving to North Conway, New Hampshire where we stayed for the night at the Kearsarge Inn. This was our favorite hotel that we stayed at the whole trip. It was more like a B&B and was so cute (I didn't get any pictures though, cause we got there really late and it was raining when we left the next morning). We had the Babe Ruth room, which was fun since we'd just been to Fenway that morning.After a great breakfast at Peaches (yum!), we drove on. New Hampshire is a really pretty state and we saw some gorgeous scenery as we drove through the White Mountains. It's also extremely windy, as you can see in the video. Apparently, the peak of Mount Washington (that was nearby) is the windiest place in North America.
After driving for a few hours through New Hampshire, we arrived in Waterbury, Vermont at the Ben & Jerry's birthplace. We had fun on the tour - obviously the giant free samples were the best part.
Next stop: Canada!
