BUT ... once upon a time it WAS summertime and this PAST summertime Jonathan and I took a terrific road trip to two states we'd both been wanting to visit for a very long time: MAINE and RHODE ISLAND. J, in fact, (list-maker and list-crosser-offer that he is!) has been keeping track of all the states he's visited and these were numbers 48 and 49 on his list!!! That's right folks - one more state and he will have visited them ALL! Speaking of... anyone out there want to treat us to an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii...?!?! ;-)
Anyway, eventually we'll get to Hawaii, but THIS particular trip to States #48 and #49 was pretty fantastic in and of itself! The scenery was even more gorgeous than we'd expected, and the photo-ops were PLENTIFUL, to say the least! Here are some favorite travel photos from that particular trip...
Newport, Rhode Island
Bar Harbor, Maine
***first glimpse of a whale!***
~AMAZING~
(please note that EVEN THOUGH I apparently get quite seasick... note to self... this was STILL an amazing sight!!)
Nobody loves the ocean more than this guy.....

atop Cadillac Mountain (MAINE)
I try to refrain from posting these cheesy self-photos on the Blog, but... I just love the background in this one! What a spectacular view!

The stunning Salve Regina University campus, also in Newport, Rhode Island.
The beautiful beach just outside of Providence, Rhode Island ~ so many shades of blue!

Stay tuned for ANOTHER travel post coming soon from another of our favorite trips of 2009 (to a state that starts with "Cali" and ends with "fornia!")!
