Looks like the Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunkport, Maine ?!

Yes it absolutely is Seashore Trolley Museum! The giveaway is the signal tower on the right side of the third picture, besides all the Boston MTA Yellow buses.

Wonder how RIPTA's son, daughter and wife enjoyed it, or did he fly solo?

Wasn't this Member's Day Weekend. The folks at Seashore do a really nice job.

Question: Where was the Orion I at the top of the post from? I first thought it was formerly Nashua, NH Citybus, but the red and blue seats, plus the #701 makes me think it's Merrimack Valley RTA of Lawrence, Mass.

Son and daughter loved it; wife went birdwatching down the road at Laudholm Farm for part of the day and was a good sport about staying for night ops :).

Correct, it was originally MVRTA 701. It was most recently VIP Charter Coaches (Portland, ME) 297 before joining the museum fleet.

No, it was open house/transit weekend. Members' day was in September.
