Steve’s take
If you're starting your road trip from Maine, Portland Head Light is the most photographed lighthouse in America and it's worth the twenty-minute detour off I-95. Your kids will climb on the rocks, your spouse will take forty-seven photos, and you'll stand there watching the Atlantic thinking 'we have 1,500 miles to go.' Enjoy the moment. It gets flatter from here.
