Portland, Maine. October 13-14, 2013.

Stayed at Clarion Hotel.  Joe, Jess & Emmie got a free night at Hampton Inn in town.

What we did:
  • Visited Portland Museum of Art.
  • Took Portland Lighthouse Cruise.
  • Visited Portland Head Lighthouse, made famous by a Hopper painting.
Here are some photos:

Grandpa and granddaughter strolling around Portland, ME.

The harbor is lined with many piers, some residential, some commercial.

Cruise around Portland.

Fort Gorges in Casco Bay.  Construction started in 1808.  By the time it was completed in 1865, it was already obsolete against the then modern explosives.

Portland, ME is a popular cruise ship terminal.  The smaller boat is a private yacht.


It was a nice day for a short cruise.
