Yesterday took a day trip North of Boston. Initially I was headed to North Conway, NH but after getting hammered by traffic, change was needed. First stop was York, Maine.

The lighthouse is actually an island and in order to get over there, the operator has to take a gondola type lift across the water.

Even a Yankee fan could appreciate the views from the lighthouse.

After seeing the town as well as the "Zoo", next stop was Portsmouth, NH. This was my first time ever there and it reminded me a bit of Northampton, MA except bigger, nicer, and by the water. I saw the main downtown area, as well as over by the water.

Almost six total hours of driving and three states later, I finally got back into Massachusetts and capped the day off with some Bertuccis and Kimball's ice cream.

So I haven't posted in awhile, but I'm going to catch you up on a few things. These pictures are from when the parentals were in town. We hit up our place in the East Village.

Anita is in town for the weekend. We headed over to The High Line yesterday, then walked down the west side of Manhattan. Here's a few, the rest in NYC and Life & Nature.
