Maine Vacation - Part Four

 We headed to Augusta one day.  After lunch in downtown, Annabelle wanted a picture on the saddle.

We went to Augusta primarily to see Old Fort Western.  It was built in 1754, and it is the oldest wooden fort in the US that's still standing.  We weren't quite sure what to expect, but we were so impressed with the tour.

The main building is the only original building, but this blockhouse was built as a recreation.

Inside the main building, they have different rooms recreating different uses of the building throughout the years.  It was built as a fort during the French and Indian war, and then it was used during the American Revolution.  This room was to depict an officers room during the American Revolution.

In the 1800's the building was a general store.  This room was set up to recreate the general store.

The family that owned the general store, lived in the other half of the building.

There were bikes at the house, so the kids enjoyed a few bike rides during our stay.

The day we flew out, we stopped by Penobscot Narrows Observatory and Fort Knox.  A selflie below the bridge and observatory.

Some views from the observatory.

Our trip home wasn't quite as smooth as the trip there.  Our Bangor to Boston flight was cancelled, so to avoid any further connection issues, we ended up having to rent a car and drive to Boston.  Then we flew out of Boston the following morning.  

Our litter of puppies is getting bigger; they're a month old now.  Here are up to date pics of the puppies.  The breeder has posted a few pictures to their instagram account, and Annabelle had me make this collage, so she could use it as the ipad wallpaper.
