Nickname: The Pine Tree State

Capital: Augusta

This state is the largest of the New England states.

Not only can you visit the easternmost town, but you can also visit the easternmost city, the easternmost lighthouse and the easternmost souvenir shop.

Thanks to the urgings of Hope, we ate at the Maine Diner and had the best food and service ever. The place was packed. We bought our first souvenir: a much-needed ceramic coffee mug.
