Summer Vacation--Part 1

We are nearly half way through our vacation and man, are we having a good time! My mom flew in the day after we did and drove up to Maine with us. My brother and his family came to DC our first weekend in the US so my mom could have all of her grandchildren together. She has seen them separately, but wanted her to have a chance to love on them all at the same time. It was a great time. Laura loved being a big sister to Erik's little boys.

We drove from DC through Gettysburg up into New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. We then drove across the state of Maine to Calais. The drive was so beautiful. There are some charming towns in the northeast. We have over 1000 pictures and I can't share them all, so I have chosen a few. I will post more later.
