Throwback Thursday: Lighthouses in Maine, March 2011

In March 2011 I flew up to Portland, Maine for a conference. Leaving my small metropolis at 3:30am, driving to a bigger city to hop on a plane. To fly to fly to Newark. To fly to Portland… on a prop plane. I hate prop planes. It was a long day for us to even get there before lunch! As soon as we got the rental car, we headed to the coast to see this beauty:

Portland Head Light House. Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

So, yes, there was still snow and ice on the ground. I work with a lot of people in my field who like to plan conferences in cold weather locations. Maybe they get better rates because of the cold weather? Maybe they like seeing this converted southerner avoid the ice patches? Who knows.

Anyway, I had a lovely time exploring the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine before the conference started. Portland is adorable, and this light house guarding the coast is just breathtaking! Check it out if you ever make it to Maine!
