It sounds like a wonderful trip and I’m glad you go to take it. Maybe you DID see Dubya! Did you wave, just in case? Glad you had good weather! Another FReeper has been up there from Texas and she was wishing she’d brought her long johns. LOL!
Hope your friend sees improving, warmer weather in Maine for the rest of her vacation. With New England weather, ya never know what you're gonna get!
I strongly suspect we saw Dubya and/or Jeb, but can't prove it. MUST remember to bring binoculars next time! :-D
