Gone Fishin’

Boothbay

Well, maybe not actually fishing.  But, I am celebrating the Fourth with a four day weekend away.

Whoohoo!!   Lord knows, I need it!

The picture above was taken a few years back in Booth Bay Harbour, Maine.

It is not where I am, but it is quite similar. And you know how I love a good guessing game. 

So, I thought we might have a little Fourth of July fun (yes, I know it’s the fifth), but bear with me. 

Here are some clues to my whereabouts…. 

  • 22 other cities in the US share it’s name
  • There are multiple lighthouses
  • The first US circus was held here
  • A famous icon lived and was married here
  • I’ll be able to stroll along the street where the first gas illuminated streetlamp stood
  • Lobsta and chowda grace almost every menu
  • Tennis, Polo and Golf have been enjoyed here by the wealthy
  • Home to one of the oldest surviving taverns in the US
  • My America’s Cup will runneth over

So, there you have it. I hope I have given you enough info, but haven’t given it away!  

Think you know where I am? 

Leave your answer in the comments. The first person with the correct answer wins a little prize. Maybe it will be a little souvenir from my trip.

And of course, I will give you a full report on my weekend destination when I get back.

Have a great Holiday weekend and good luck!!
