Maine Maritime Museum

Can you believe it is already Thursday? Where do the days go? I can tell you exactly where mine have gone-two days to the gym, three days walking+today, quilting groups, blogging, reading, cooking, errands etc.
Onto our trip:  One of the highlights for the guys on our trip was going to the Maine Maritime Museum.  Hubby grew up sailing and loves anything to do with the water and Jim was in the Navy.  Both guys loved the exhibits and educational lectures.   The grounds house a historic Mill and Joiner Shoppe as well as the Donnell House, a Victorian home that the famous shipbuilding families lived in 1896.  I'll show that tomorrow.

 This is the largest historic schooner from 1909, Wyoming that is being restored.  It hauled coal, had six masts, each reaching 177 feet.  She sank in 1924 off of Massachusetts during a storm.
We spent about 3.5 hrs touring and enjoying the sites. We had a beautiful day and that made it wonderful.  Speaking of wonderful, we are enjoying warm days here in northern Colorado.
I hope you have a incredible Thursday.
