Road Trip!

Johnny and I have just returned from a little piece of heaven.  We spent 10 days in New England.  We’ve been there 2 other times but it’s so beautiful we keep going back.  We started off at Lake George RV Park and Charlie’s Bark Park.  For those of you traveling with dogs there is no place in the world like the two acre Charlie’s Bark Park.  The dogs had the opportunity to burn off energy so we could hop in the car slowly cruising through town after town ooh-ing and aah-ing at absolutely everything.

In a little town called Old Forge, New York we stopped at Lucy and Bob’s and had a breakfast so good we’re still talking about it.  It’s a small café that concentrates on just a few items to make sure that everything is mind blowing. It was so good we still talk about it. And to make it even better they are very dog friendly.

Lake Champlain should be designated a great lake, because it is

After our time in New York we headed to Vermont and Lake Champlain to spend the night on the water.  Johnny grilled some beef filets and once again the views are simply breath taking. From here we headed into New Hampshire and stayed in the Woodstock/Lincoln area.  It worked out as a great base camp to see the Appalachian Trail, Franconia Notch, The Old Man of the Mountain, and the White Mountains in General. 

We also found a great little store near our camp site, The Purple Tomato and they get our vote for best lobster roll of the trip!  They were so good that Rose was hoping to get in on the lunch too!

she always gets a taste

We enjoyed our time there, but then it was off to Bar Harbor, Maine truly the highlight of our trip. Once we got settled in at our camp site we chowed down on lobster rolls and took the dogs to the beach for sunset.  A big highlight of the trip was a 1.5 hour harbor voyage on the Acadian (nobody sang the Gilligan song).  We saw miles of beautiful homes, bald eagles, seal, whales, and all sorts of other wildlife.  Rose loved the cruise but I’m not sure that Tillie was quite as enthused.  Our trip into downtown led us to a café called Poorboy’s.  Wonderful food and once again they were very dog friendly.

As usual, vacations fly by.  But we did get this one last shot of the four of us at the top of Cadillac Mountain.  All too soon it was time to pack up and start driving home.  But not without one more stop for lobster rolls before getting on the road.  Overall we’re already dreaming of our next trip to Maine.  Until then, we’ll reminisce and plan some other trips.

We’re both doing well, but next week the doctor appointments start back up.  Happy Weekend.  We love you all.
