The Trip Home

The Coles traveled four days from Florida to Maine. This post will be in two parts - the trip home and spring in Washburn. As we headed out on I 95 north climate changes were most obvious. We spent a night in Wilson, North Carolina, where it was nearly as warm as it had been in Florida. Here we have a road picture from the first day.

We noticed lots of purple trees flowered out, and wondered what they are. We never did find out.

As we moved north into Virginia everything was green and blossoms were abundant.

We spent the second night in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and needed jackets. It was windy, chilly, and spring was not in bloom. The third day we moved on to Massachusetts where we met up with Bob. They treated us to a night in a lovely inn, and dinner at the Wayside Inn.  Here we have Bob and Bridget:

That is Bridget out in front of the inn. Here is a nice photo of one of the dining rooms:

We spent a lovely evening and had a wonderful meal here. Early the next morning we headed north to Maine and met Jon for breakfast in Portland. We spent much of the day at the Maine Mall getting a computer, so we were late heading north. We first noticed snow in the woods beside the road in the Lincoln area. Upon reaching Houlton the snow started and it snowed most of the way to Presque Isle. We finally arrived home well into the evening, cold and tired.
