Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Chris' company, Enterprise Rent-a-car hosted a party on a steamship in the Portsmouth Harbor. It was a beuatiful night and we ate some BBQ chicken with salads and dessert and enjoyed the harbor through the sunrise! Our good friends, Jared and Tyneal Mulliner were also there (Jared is employed with them also). It was good company because we were the only four non-drinkers there and found some great entertainment watching some of the people get drunk (especially when we got out into the open water and they had a hard time standing/walking around!) Why do people "NEED" to drink to have a good time anyway?


Two lighthouses we passed as went down river into the harbor:

The four sober ones (and the only 2 pregnant ladies!) We got some looks!

Enterprise put us up in a hotel so the next day we swam at the pool and soaked up some sun with Jared and Tyneal and the headed into downtown Portsmouth to walk a portion of the Harbor Trail and view the historic Strawberry Banke (a 10 acre museum of colonial houses). It was a beautiful day and we walked up a sweat!

This is a historic drawbridge that raises up in the middle when a tall ship needs to pass beneath it. It was neat for me to see this because my Great Grandpa Terrence used to work this bridge!!!

From there we parted ways and Chris and I headed north back up to Maine along the coastal route and saw a lighthouse there that I haven't been to since I was a small child.

Some people really know how to live huh? This mansion was directly across from the lighthouse!
