Roadtrip!

This past weekend we drove up to Kittery, Maine in search of winter coats.  The trip was successful, but you'll have to wait until the end of the post to experience the fruits of our journey.  On the way up we decided to opt for the scenic coastal highway in lieu of the faster, more direct interstate highway.  We were so glad we did!  It was a perfect, overcast fall day.  The wind was beginning to pick up, causing the ocean waves to crash over the seawall and onto the road in some places.  We saw beautiful coastal homes, rocky beaches, colorful leaves, and crazy surfers (the water had to have been freezing!).  Here are a few pictures from our trip.

These next two came from a park that we passed.  Please excuse the blurriness.  I took them as we drove by.  The leaves were amazing!

We stopped in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to have lunch at the "Friendly Toast." 

And finally....the debut of our winter coats!  Bring it on, winter!
