New England Trip-Day 5

Today we were on a mission to get to one of our favorite states (Maine).... but we had to go through Boston, first, and the hardest part was getting to the city. Once you get there you go into the.....
                                                  tunnel under the city.....
                                              and before you know it........
                                         you are out, and on your way.............to

 our next Lighthouses, which were in New Hampshire, that were also at 
Fort Constitution which was built in the 1700's. and........
           this lighthouse was out on a small island from the fort....and...
 this is what is left of the fort and the inland lighthouse in the background is Portsmouth Harbor Light in New Hampshire. 
                                                    nice house on the ocean ..........
                           Portsmouth Lighthouse at Fort Constitution
                                                                   The Fort.. and then we were onto our all time favorite lighthouse...................
 Nubble Light. This is our third trip to see this lighthouse and we just love this place. York Beach, Maine is where I would love to live if it wasn't so far from my family. Just wish I could bring them all up here just once in my lifetime. Where we are staying we can see the lighthouse.
 This basket is how the people that lived at the lighthouse got back to the mainland to get supplies and the kids that lived there had to get in the basket to get to school.
 After leaving Nubble, we went up the road a bit and saw.......

The President Bush's compound. All I can say is "God Bless America" wish we had him back. Then we were back to where we were staying ......

 We walked across the street and ate lobster by the water and watched this dog chasing his ball into the waves.........and 

 back to our room to see Nubble Light in her finest. Wow, I just love Maine.............................
