September 28, 2022 Joseph Candora Classic Cars/Museums/Car Shows, Maine, Museums, New England, North America, United States

The Maine Classic Car Museum in Arundel has a wonderful collection of vintage automobiles. Opened in 2019 there are more than 50 classic cars dating back to 1913. The collection is quite eclectic with classic touring cars, luxury cars, mini-cars and nostalgic family cars. Admission is reasonable at $12.00 for adults and kids under 7 free. Alex has a love of classic cars (he calls them “Dolly Cars” when we see them in the wild) he was in heaven here.

Interspersed throughout the collection are accessories such as license plates and diecasts.

One of the highlight of the collection was a 1948 Tucker

From July 1824 to September 1825, the French Marquis de Lafayette, the last surviving major general of the American Revolutionary War, made a tour of the 24 states in the United States. New Hampshire has memorialized the visit with historical markers highlighting locations he visited in the granite state. He visited The Adams Female Academy, dined at Redfield’s Tavern and visited General E.H. Derby in Derry.

White Lake State Park – Tamworth, New Hampshire

September 27, 2022 Joseph Candora Beaches, Camping, Canoeing, Hiking, Lake/Pond, New England, New Hampshire, North America, State Parks, United States

It’s 2021 and Alex is finally double vaccinated and after a year and a half of being locked up and home schooled summer is here and it’s time to go camping.

White Lake State Park in Tamworth is a prime family vacation destination. The lake provides fun recreational activities like swimming, boating and fishing. The park is a 900 acre area surrounding the 125 acre White Lake. There are short hiking trails and non-motorized boat rentals available. Alex enjoyed his time with our family friends. It is great to get back to some outdoor activities with the virus making its way to being under control.
