We're Back!

Maine was great! The weather was superb. The cottage was more than we expected. The girls were "cellar dwellers" all week - literally! They had their own space with 4 beds, a TV and their own bathroom! Oh, and some bugs. And the PS2 (brought from home) so they could play Kingdom Hearts II. All week long we kept hearing fits of laughter, the occasional scream and "Guitar Hero."

We saw some new sights this year. We went to York's Wild Kingdom on Tuesday. It was just the right size, not too big and lots of animals to feed. The girls fed the ducks, the goats and the deer. Thank goodness there were lots of Purell stations around - gotta wash off the goat slobber. Ick.


Wednesday & Thursday were beach days. Vic & I basically parked ourselves there and did not move. The girls snorkled, walked out to the island, swam, and got attacked by horseflies.


Friday, we drove north to Freeport. We visited the Desert of Maine. Interesting place. I think if we ever get up to Freeport again, I'd like to do the walking tour.


Somewhere in between all of the above action-packed stuff we managed to go to Kennebunkport a couple of times, had dinner at Nunan's Lobster Hut, and make brief shopping excursions to both Kittery & Freeport.
