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!
