Last weekend, we headed up to Ellsworth, and since we both had Friday off, we managed to wend our way up, stopping to head down the peninsula to Port Clyde, since neither of us had been there before. The Marshall Point Lighthouse was a delight – perfect picnic spot, and Owl’s Head is lovely, with

The Garden is next to the Capital, and I highly recommend visiting it. There’s an outdoor garden, and a glassed in house, that has a number

You see these pictures? Several months ago, when we booked our long weekend in Washington, DC, based on prior experience, we fully expected that we’d be awash in cherry blossoms when we got there. (Heck, the organizers of the 100th anniversary festival expected the same.) But, they got the same heat wave we got, so
