My Old Kentucky Home

After two days of driving and spending Thursday night in the Ohio Amish Country and Friday night parked under a Hickory Nut tree in Elizabethtown, KY, we were thrilled to see the sun shinning on our old Kentucky home. We arrived Saturday around noon. We had a trip we won't soon forget, but it is always good to get back home. To our children, we hope you enjoyed keeping up with us through our pictures. To our friends, we hope we didn't bore you to much. We certainly appreciated all your comments and phone calls while we were away. We love you all.

Niagara Falls, NY

Tuesday afternoon, we arrived in Niagara Falls.

It was definitely a"wow" experience.
On Wednesday, we rode the "Maid of the Mist", went on the "Cave of the Winds Trip", and took the "Journey Behind the Falls". What an experience!!! A very wet experience, but a lot of fun.

Thursday, we are heading southwest.

Leaf Peeping

We learned that the official name for travelers like us is "Leaf Peeper". The leaves are so beautiful. Our pictures don't reveal the true beauty of the different colors on the mountains. Monday, we traveled from Maine, through New Hampshire, Vermont, and spent the night in eastern New York.

Acadia National Park, Maine

Saturday, we enjoyed sitting in the sun on the cliffs of Acadia National Park and listening to the sounds of the ocean.
By early afternoon, we realized that we were going to have to leave this most beautiful place and head home.

We drove north to Bangor, ME and found a church where we could worship on Sunday. We stayed at the Pumpkin Patch R.V. Resort.

Bar Harbor, Maine

We met this cute couple today as we started our day in Acadia National Park. There was also a third dog in the back seat. Looks like they were ready to take off.
We had a wonderful day (Friday) in the national park. It was a beautiful place. All we could say was "wow" as we drove down the Park Loop Road. The temperature dropped 20 degrees while we were there. We kept busy putting on more clothes so we could stay warm.
The Acadia National Park is located on the Atlantic Sea coast of Maine. We saw waves crashing against the high rock cliffs. There were some of the prettiest lakes I have ever seen. This lake is called Bubble Pond and it looked like it was bubbling. In some of the areas, the trees were beautiful with colors of Fall. There were so many places where we just wanted to sit and stay a while.

Kennebunkport, ME

I never thought that I would see a gas pump with a TV screen. What will be next?
Thursday, as we were exploring Kennebunkport, we happened upon President and Mrs. Bush's Summer Cottage, Walkers Point. They were home and Barbara was getting ready to read to the children down at the library.
Thursday afternoon, Rob finally had an opportunity to do some shopping. This is the home of L. L. Bean, Inc. in Freeport, Maine.

About 6 PM we arrived at Hadley's Point Campground in Bar Harbor, ME.

Plymouth, MA

Wednesday, we went through a replica of the Mayflower. It was hard to imagine all those Pilgrims on that ship.


We also saw Plymouth Rock. Now you may think that looking at a rock was not important, but when you consider what it represents (freedom) that makes it more important.


We continued on our trip and spent the night in Kennebunkport, ME at the Red Apple Campground. I do believe that was the prettiest campground that we have seen.
