In the Pine Tree State

Finally, after 17 exhausting hours and 1,070 miles, we’re in Maine! Lewiston, to be exact. We were going to stop at a hotel last night but we were so lost in Pennsylvania that all 5 hotels we checked were booked up so we gave up. We kept on until about 3am when we stopped for a restroom break and we about collapsed from exhaustion. So, we just parked right there at the rest area and napped until 5! Once awake, we kept on and now, at 11:30, we finally checked into probably the snazziest hotel I’ve ever been in. When we called mom back home, she said we’re crazy for driving all night - what can I say?! Dads currently taking a well deserved nap while I catch up on some reading. After more than a day without access to a shower, boy does it feel good to be clean! Best roadtrip memory is probably Dad and I blasting Mamma Mia! The Musical Soundtrack at 1am so we didn’t fall asleep :) We’ll probably have lunch and go exploring the town later - all the buildings are Victorian and I’m loving it! Then, tomorrows the big college visit at Bates - I’m equally stoked and petrified!
