Thursday they were in the Adirondack Region of New York, spending the night at Lake Placid. And Friday, they rode the ferry across Lake Champion into Vermont and into the White Mountains of New Hampslhire, which was the most vivid colors of the trip.

Portland, Maine, Booth Harbor was the next stop where they explored it’s historic waterfront area. Boston, Maine, was the next tour viewing Old Ironsides, North Church and Boston Market.

October 10th found them in Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod for the whale watching cruise aboard the Dolphin Fleet.

The next day, the Chapins were at A.D. Makepeace Company, cranberry bogs which were very interesting with the Ocean Spray processing plant right on site.

The last tour was in Newport, Rhode Island, at The Breakers which is an audio guided tour of the 70 room Italian Renaissance style villa, built in the Gilded Age by Cornelius Vanderbilt, II.
