Now that Cancun has been adequately blogged, we move onto our next trip to Boston (New England) and Montreal.
JetBlue opened a new route from SLC to BOS and for their first month they offered some flights for $90 round trip, so we took the whole family to New England for around $450.
Kate saw the guy directing the airplane on the tarmac and said, "look daddy, there's a guy with light sabers out there!"
After our red-eye flight it was only 4AM Utah time, but Boston was sure looking lovely.
We grabbed our rental car and then made our way to Salem, Massachusetts (after a quick stop at Target to pick up some cheap car seats. We forgot to grab ours when we left). We had breakfast at The Little Depot.
It was a tiny train car breakfast joint that seemed to mainly be frequented by locals.
We parked in Salem and visited the museum and walked along the Salem trail.
Lots of old graveyards.
After Salem we jumped in the car and drove through New Hampshire to Maine. We stopped at the Nubble Lighthouse in York.
Then spent about an hour on Long Sands Beach just south of the lighthouse.
The girls loved the sand and water. It was too cold to swim, but not too cold for wading.
Today was the day of lots of driving. I'm a list checker kind of guy and we had to visit all of the New England states. From Maine we drove south through New Hampshire, then through Massachusetts to Worcester, then south to Connecticut (new state) and onto the Ice Cream Machine shop in Rhode Island to celebrate a few new states.
It was a lot of driving for the night after a red-eye flight, but we got it done so that we could spend our time in the city for the next few days.
Tomorrow we take a look around Boston.
