To the Coast!
Saturday Angie and I spent the day in Portsmouth, NH. Portsmouth is a really cool town. It was settled in 1620 and has lots of cool historic sites and stuff (which I appreciate). It's only about 60 miles from where we live, so we had to go check it out. By pure serendipitous chance, we happened to be there for their annual Market Street Day. It was crazy, they had blocked off almost all of downtown and there were hundreds of booths, good smells, live music and thousands of people. We toured the home of William Whipple (signer of the Declaration of Independence), and I had myself a good ol' New England lobster, which was spectacular, by the way. We walked all over town (which is actually pretty small) and drove to Odiorne State Park, which is just a nice park along the sea shore. This is the coastline that the vikings saw 700 years ago and named Vinland (if you buy into that kind of stuff (...and I do)). Enjoy the pictures
