No trip to Boston is complete unless you get caught in a traffic jam. This one was caused by an accident. Our 15 minute drive turned into a 40 minute drive before we even got started. We had rented a parking place in downtown Boston so that we could walk to all our destinations today.
Today we drove from Acadia National Park to Boston Massachusetts. We planned two stops along the way. Our first stop was at Camden Hills State Park. The park has a high hill near the coast that provides a great view of the Atlantic Ocean. We hiked a little bit at the top of the park.
