Shortly after our WDW 2005 vacation (sometimes referred to as “Grandpa’s Happiest Vacation On Earth”), Brenda and I began to think about our next vacation in 2006. Now, I was thinking Disney again, maybe Disneyland this time… you know how you always wanted to go to Disneyland… (well, if you are over 40 you wanted to go)? Anyway, Brenda brought up that my mom always wanted to go to New England, and she is
from New England!
So, in September of 2006, we took my mom and aunt with us to New England for 2 weeks. We went to Rhode Island (Brenda’s home), Cape Cod, did the DUCK Tour in Boston, and ended with 5 days on the coast of Maine. And an awesome time we had!
My Mom at a lighthouse on Cape Cod (don't remember the name.
The "Old North Church". They still have Episcopal services here so we attended a church service here. Cheryl, you probably know the story, but in case you don't; this is where they put lanterns in the steeple to alert the Minutemen as to how the British were coming into Boston, one if by land, two if by sea, and that started the "Midnight ride of Paul Revere!"
One of the Ducks used to tour Boston (that's DW in the yellow jacket).
The Nubble lighthouse, Maine.
The Marginal Way, Ogunquit, Maine... a one mile paved walkway along the shore.

Did you ever think about a cruise?
