Day #15 the Green Mountain State

Road trip today. We left from the hotel in Freeport and wandered down Main Street. We looked in a couple of outlet stores and then stopped at Starbucks for breakfast. The it was on the road again. We were determined to not pay tolls today so we took the scenic route. Yesterday we paid tolls twice on the same road. We drove down the coast by-passed Portland and continued through to Old Orchard Beach.
This is a beach that could rival any Mexican beach. Fine sand, beautiful long beaches. We wandered onto the beach but continued on because it was so busy with holiday tourists.

From Old Orchard Beach to continued onto Kennebunk, which was a much quainter little town. This one had a lot of character. We went out to the shoreline again and explored the rocks. There are beaches of sand and other rocky ones.
Stopped to pick up snacks and stamps and then headed out again.

We went from Wells to South Berwick to Dover to Northwood to Concord to down to Keene and then into Brattleboro Vermont. We might explore some tonight or wait until tomorrow. We are an hour and twenty minutes away from our final hotel. We headed down the road to the Marina for dinner. We sat on the patio over looking the West River merging with the Connecticut River. Beautiful warm evening and only a few bites on my ankles.
