It’s Sunday! We were out at Fort Adams in Rhode Island yesterday and saw this little lady parked outside the harbor. It’s the Queen Mary 2 and she was just leaving for New York, so we got to watch her pull up anchor and sail out of the harbor. That was a pretty cool surprise!

We had been at Fort Adams on Friday when the weather was much better and it was an absolute madhouse on the water. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many vessels coming and going all at once. What a cool place to just hang out watching the countless yachts, ships, boats, and even military ships. If you ever come to Rhode Island, I highly suggest checking out the Newport area and Fort Adams. I have more photos that I’ll feature next week.

Well, its been fun but it’s time to head back home to Illinois.

It’s Saturday! While we were roaming the streets in downtown Portland, Maine, we came across this little bastard perched upon a parked car. I felt bad for the owner of the car because this bird wasn’t about to vacate his perch. And only a few cars over was a nice new Ford F150 that was plastered with bird shit. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was him—just look at that smug bird-face.

It’s Friday! I hope everyone had a good 4th of July. Here in Portland, Maine, we headed over to the promenade area to catch the symphony and watch the fireworks. The music was fantastic, especially the Star Wars tunes and the fireworks display was the best I’ve ever seen. Seriously, even better than Chicago!

We’ve enjoyed our time in Portland but it’s time to move on. Next up is Newport, Rhode Island!
