Summer Vacation to Maine















We kicked off the month of July with a visit to Maine, where we had never been before, and fell in love with the beauty of the state. Spent the week in Acadia National Park, got out on the Sound for a boat ride, explored the shore, picking up beautiful pink granite rocks, saw all kinds of beautiful flowers (and all kinds of 8 foot tall fencing to keep the moose and deer away from those flowers), yes, and saw deer. No moose though, which was fortunate. I understand they are like "tanks with fur", according to a friend of mine. Visited LL Bean in Ellsworth, and of course Bar Harbor. Went to church in Bar Harbor, and back another day for a shopping expedition. Best of all, dined on fresh caught seafood every day and loved it! Hubby isn't a big fan of fish, so our hosts made sure he had plenty of meat to live on while we enjoyed our fish. Lobster fresh caught is absolutely wonderful, and of course the cooking experience is part of the fun of it. I got great lessons from our hosts on cooking and disassembling it to eat it afterward, messy fun! So hope you enjoy a little taste of Maine here.
