Mystic Seaport, Connecticut
Step Back In Time in this Historic Village

The best place to experience the life of a whaler on a large sailing ship is the Mystic Seaport Museum and Historic Village in Mystic Connecticut.
 
Actors add to the experience by representing shop keepers, blacksmiths, and boat builders from the period. You will even be able to climb aboard some of the historic ships.

The Coast of Maine
Adventures in the Vacation State

On a recent trip up the coast of Maine I discovered why they call Maine "Vacation Land".  There are seemingly endless little harbors and tourist attractions from the sandy southern shores to the rocky coast "down east".

Boothbay Harbor is by far one of the best places to visit if you want to experience a historic destination without many tourists.

The Kennebunkport area, called the Kennebunks, include a pristine beach with inviting bed and breakfasts, a hustling village full of unique boutique shops, and a town full of historic architecture and endless stories.

As the temperature drops and some outdoor attractions close, you can still find many interesting museums and historic parks to visit this Fall.  Some attractions become more interesting after the leaves fall from the trees enabling you to see what was hidden behind the foliage.  If you are heading south November brings a welcome change to the constant summer heat. I hope you will make time to discover some new attractions, museums, or historic villages this month.
 
Sincerely,
