This vacation was the first time I had visited the 6 states of New England. I flew into Hartford, Connecticut and drove to my conference in Albany, NY. After the conference, I took the northern route through Vermont and New Hampshire. Unfortunately, the weather was misty and overcast, so not very picturesque for photos, however the Green Mountains in Vermont in bright, yellow foliage was indeed very impressive. Then, on over to the more gentle, rolling hills of New Hampshire and through Concord the state capital. I wound up staying in Portsmouth, NH and drove over to York Harbor, Maine for dinner. Giving me a total of three new states that I can say I've been to. Maine is very green, and more mountainous and fir covered the further north you go. The next morning, traveled south to Boston, Massachusetts. Went through the famed "Big Dig" tunnel system. Lost Google Maps, but was found once I traveled through! Went to JFK Library on the banks of Massachusetts Bay. Always enjoy history, particularly recent events. Very impressive. Continued on to the very small, but beautiful state of Rhode Island. Completing my circle, back to Hartford, CT to fly home. It was a very enjoyable drive, most of the time not on the interstate highway, so there was always something new to see. God sure made this country diverse and beautiful. A little weary from my travels, was glad to get home to good old Ohio.
