Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth Rock

Listed on this monument are the 100 people who came to Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower.  One of them Decory Priest is one of my ancestors. He is listed towards the top.

Our first Lobster dinner!!!!!

Acadia National Park

Where would we be if we couldn't find a place to hike!  What a wonder this park is.  Hiked 5 miles around Witch Pond.  Great weather

Elks Club Augusta Maine

Jim joined the Elks and then we found out we could stay at some of the lodges.  Here we are leaving the Lodge in Augusta Maine.  Wonderful people and a great breakfast.

Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard

Well this has been the time of the history lessons. What a quaint little area of the Cape and the Vineyard. The boat trip to Martha's Vineyard is about 45 minutes with great views of lighthouses. The tour of the vineyard is timed perfectly to give you too much time to shop of eat at the high prices on island. After the whole day on the island we went to Wareham Elks for dinner. $5.00 for ziti and sausage. Yum! We stayed in an out of the way campground right nea some cranberry bogs. They were not ripe yet, but we could imagine the site of a field of red when they ripen. The am of our changing location, we toured Plymouth, saw the Rock, a replica of the Mayflower and saw the Monument to our forefathers. The monument has all the people's names who came over on the Mayflower. I An a descendent of Decory Priest one of the travelers. After leaving the area, we stopped for a visit with some Boca friends who now live near Manchester,NH. We had a great time with them and after some unplanned RV repairs we left for Maine. A stop at LLBean for shopping and then on to Augusta, Me and a night of free chomping at the Elk's lodge there. Nice people and a great breakfast Sunday am.

Gettysburg

What a beautiful day, blue sky, nice breeze, no humidity and a great guide Mark who drove us around the 24 miles that make up the Battle of Gettysburg. What a bloody 3 days that must have been.  Although 3 of the 4 of us had been here before, the new facility is so nice that we could not remember seeing most of the stuff.  We also visited the Eisenhower home and grounds and were treated to a presentation on D-Day.
After a wonderful meal at the Dobbin House we are ready to move on tomorrow.

Here we are parked on the shore of Hog Island Inlet off the Atlantic Ocean.  The park is Virginia Landings, a part of the ELS resort group.  Full hook-ups, almost no people, deer, geese, birds and lots of peaceful rest.
Leaving here for Gettysburg, Pa and meeting up with Dave and Sherry. You can follow their travels at Muellersjourneys.blogspot.com.
