A visit to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP. Three families of public lands stewardship. -J t.co/qpCtagGAb… 
Stopped by Springfield Armory NHS, one of the nation’s two national armories. It developed and made rifles for the US military from the late 1700s until 1968. t.co/Z6p0KbEzX… 
Stopped at two excellent breweries: Maine Beer Co. and Treehouse Brewing. Highly recommend. #Lostneededdirections t.co/fdqvGRHsz… 
Also did a quick stop to Lowell NHP, which tells the story of the first factory city, making bolts of cloth. It was also the first canal-based city. Unfortunately there was a police incident outside so what was going to be a short visit got shorter 🤷♀️ -J t.co/u20CN81A7… 
Once we got back to Maine, we stopped by to see Saint Croix Island, where the French attempted a permanent settlement. Didn’t work, but they learned valuable lessons that they used to settle Nova Scotia. t.co/J7GQjQmWc…

We’re back in the US after five days of tooting around the Maritime provinces.
I think we’ve adopted two new quests on this trip: a national park in every province, and a brewery in every province. #goquesting
One of our favorite breweries so far this trip! This one was located right near the entrance to Fundy National Park and had a whale + church theme. We enjoyed the whole flight, but this “Taste the Rain, Bro” skittles sour inspired both a follow up pint and a crowler for later. t.co/8gr3CFnTs…

So far, the big highlight of the trip was when the seller agreed to install a new roof. 😂
We have a quest to visit an Irish Pub in 32 countries (to represent the 32 counties in Ireland). Canada was number 4. -J. #LostNeededDirections #GoQuesting t.co/n6KmXIKYh… 
We’re right in the middle of buying a retirement house for my mom.
So we’ve spent all but one day of the trip dealing with house stuff—reviewing sewer line inspection video (on Jen’s bday no less 😂), submitting paperwork for the mortgage, etc
But the end may be in sight! 🙌 -S
I sure hope the deer can read. -J t.co/bVLhv8Orc…
