Maine and the Atlantic Ocean

After a few days in New York it felt like it was time to get back in the car and drive through Vermont and New Hampshire to Old Orchard Beach Maine.  Beautiful when we arrived, rained a few hours after we got there and it never really stopped but it was still a great time! 
Our hotel, right on the beach!

Atlantic Ocean
Sky's first time seeing the Atlantic

Lots of Jersey Shore people.  Good people watching.


View from our first feeding spot.  We ate A LOT while we were here!


Fresh Spicy Shrimp!

Crab Sandwich!

Even Barack was there.



Rain!

First course of Crustacean Invasion

Calamari Brushetta 

Pinch, Sky's dinner


Best place!  Everything on the menu $5.00 or less.

$4.99

Walk home on the beach at OOB.

First of three mini golf games in one week.


Queensbury New York & Puffy!

2,200 miles and 10 states later, we made it!

Just what we need, more food.
Sky and his salmon!



The boys and Savannah grilling Salmon, yum!
Nothing like a home cooked meal! 

Andrea & Will. 



Almost to New York!

Late night dining with togo beers.  We love little towns in Ohio!

Savannah wondering when this car ride is going to be over.

She can smell her new home.


Last state to go!

It is hard work being the passenger.  I need more Red Bull!

Clarksville Tennessee with Dustin

Spent the next two days in the South at Dustin's new, beautiful house.  Good beer, company and food.

Which one should I try first?

Spicy beer cheese dip, yes please!

Savannah likes to give people options.

Go ahead, just kick it.





Don't worry, in couple of days we will be reunited with Puffy and there will also be cat pictures!

Grill Master, Dustin, readying the grill for dinner.

RIBS!


Dinner!

Dustin and Jill.  Nice face, Dustin.

Belleville IL

On Tuesday, June 7th we arrived at the home of Margi Wessels, Greg Hipskind, and Topo in Belleville Illinois.
Topo greets us at the door.

Savannah is not a fan of the humidity but she will still chase her ball.

Sky, Marji, Topo and Greg on their porch.


The mighty Mississippi

First stop on Greg's tour of the best view in the midwest.
