Our Summer Road Trip Adventures

(Adapted from Lu's blog post which you can see here)

Massachusetts
I went back to Boston to visit Catie for the 4th of July. I figured it was a very patriotic place to be and it certainly was. Freedom Fest was in full swing. Catie and I went to the top of the bell tower where Paul Revere once was, explored the Boston Islands and went on an epic, classy (and highly informative) boat tour on the Charles River.

New Hampshire
Just a short drive away from Boston, Catie and I went to the American Independence Museum in Exeter (where we went on a tour with an older British couple) and sat in a room that George Washington once ate breakfast in. We then got candy and continued on to explore Portsmouth.

Maine
Who knew that Kittery, Maine would be a short drive from New Hampshire? We took Pocahontas Road to a hiking and beach area known as Kittery Point/Fort Foster. I became very concerned about these teeny-tiny shelled creatures trying to inch their way to the ocean during low tide and began picking them up and bringing them to ocean.

Rhode Island
One fated day we dreamed up Rhode Trip - a road trip to Rhode Island and it exceeded our expectations. Rhode Island is a beautiful underrated state. We went to the county fair (CRYSTAL GAYLE! ), Newport (where we went to the beach and saw gorgeous mansions), RISD, farm country, Brown University and explored Providence.
