Gone Fishin’

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!!

This is a tricky one, but is it Oxford, Maine? You have me stumped really though

I don’t know, but I like the game. Somewhat of a “where in the world is Robin (matt lauer). Have a great time!

Soooo, how was Newport?
We just returned from a 3100 mile road trip to Glacier National Park, etc. I do not believe there is any more beautiful drive on earth than the “Going To The SUn Road” in Glacier. Look it up! Spectacular!!
