Truth be told, I wish I were still back in Maine! Last week, my parents and I drove up to visit my sister who lives outside of Portland for a few days. Going to Maine is one of my earliest trip memories, and to this day remains one of my favorite places to visit.
One thing that was nice was that we really got to explore the area more, visiting towns such as Freeport (home to L.L. Bean), Brunswick, Cape Elizabeth, and Southern Portland. I expected this trip to include many lighthouses (it did), but we did so much more than that. All in all, it was a great trip that left me with a plethora of photos, a full belly (more on that later...), and even more "remember when?" family moments. Oh, and I also got to cross of something on my summer to-do list: strawberry picking!

Looks like such a beautiful place! Glad you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteIt is! Even when there are torrential downpours.
DeleteWhoa that boot is awesome! Now I'm craving strawberries!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it! The whole L.L. Bean complex was amazing. The strawberries are just SO good!
Deleteoh that lighthouse is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love them both, but the one at Bug Light is just so cute and tiny!
DeleteI've always wanted to go to Maine! Seems like the kind of place where a person such as myself that wishes for eternal fall would want to live.
