One Saturday I decided to take my wife to Hillbilly Hotdogs. Having read a few of my post, you know I  like food. I have loved hotdogs as long as I can remember. So I decided to take her to one of the best Hotdog places in America.

I am sure the entrance had her sold on the place. I then showed her the outdoor dinning

At last we saw the restaurant standing before us. I don’t know about you but I think this place screams “Food Network” .

This is it

When I entered, I saw the menu and a smiling face waiting to answer any questions and/or take my order. I placed our order and then put some money into the tip jar. Never have I seen such an expression of gratitude in my life.  When you go and I know you will, you must put a dollar in the tip jar.

The seating comes in to levels. I chose the upper level seating.

Yes it is a school bus

After finding a nice seat on the old bus, we waited a very short time to get our food.

This is the reason for my trip. All kidding aside they have great food. I wish I could have shown more pictures of the place. Go and have fun they are at:

Portsmouth Lighthouse New Hampshire was my next stop after leaving Marblehead. I drove to Portsmouth Harbor and found this beautiful old Lighthouse. It sits near a Coast Guard Station. Through my reading I have found that the lighthouse has always been near military post of some type. The commander of the post often bore the responsibilities of lighthouse keeper.

the Lighthouse was first constructed in 1771 and was built beside a fort. In reading, I found an interesting thing. Paul Revere made a ride before his famous midnight ride. Four months before the well known ride Revere rode north warning the colonists that the English army was seizing all stores of gun powder.

The next day John Langdon recruited several hundred men and attacked the fort. No one was killed in the battle but Langdon did leave with over one hundred barrels of gun powder. This make Portsmouth the first English fortification to surrender to colonial forces.

From the Portsmouth Lighthouse, I could see two other Lighthouses out in the harbor. The first was the Isles of Shoals, located on White Island.

The other I found was the Whaleback Lighthouse. It is in Portsmouth Harbor but is on the Maine side of the boundary.
