Down Route 1 on the coast of Maine

What a day! The coast of Maine has got to be one of the most spectacular places to see with the fury of the crashing waves against the huge rocks, ancient lighthouses in the background and lobster boats working in the bays. The day starts in Boothbay overlooking the harbor and then driving down Route 1 to Old Orchard. We stop in the city of Portland for a visit with Ben's 94 year old uncle and his daughter. The three of them have not been together in over 30 years and it could not have been any better. Lots of catching up and reminiscing take place before heading to Cape Elizabeth where Two Lights State Park is located and a little restaurant called The Lobster Shack for another lobster roll for lunch. The lobster roll here is the best I've had by far and my first sighting of a Maine lighthouse (or 2) is exciting but still looking forward to going on a little further to Portland Head Lighthouse which is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine completed in 1791 and the most photographed lighthouse in North America. Beautiful!
