About a week ago, our Tour Choir returned from their two-week tour throughout upstate New York and New England.
On day 10, we began with some pool time to try and beat the heat. After that, we made our way to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for lunch and a bit of exploring, and then to Old Orchard Beach, Maine for some more exploring and some great ice cream! Finally, we made our way to the Second Christian Church of Kittery for dinner and a concert.
Day 11, we started off strong with a trip to Len Libby Candies for some shopping and to see the world’s largest chocolate moose! After some shopping, we headed to the ferry that would take us to Chebeague Island for a delicious lobster bake and another wonderful concert. After the concert, the day was not over. While waiting for the Ferry back to Portland, the boys had some free time, which many of them spent singing on the pier and throwing the ball around.
Day 12 was particularly special, because it was the day we explored both Portland and Peaks Island. We first paid a visit to the Portland Head Light, the single most photographed lighthouse in the world! Next, we drove to Old Port, Portland for lunch and free time in the city. Not long after, we took the ferry to Peaks Island for a delicious dinner and a concert at New Brackett Church before going off with our host families for the night.
Day 13, we all made our way to the ferry terminal with our host families. Once we made it back to the mainland, we made our way to Freeport, Maine to visit the world’s largest globe and the L.L. Bean Headquarters. Finally, we made our way south to New Haven, Connecticut to settle into our hotel before (a bit of a throwback) a delicious Chilean dinner.
Thank you to our hosts, host families, staff, parent volunteers, chaperones, donors, board members, and choristers! You all made such an amazing tour possible! And, as always, A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!
