Maine

Sean and I took our last trip sans baby two weekends ago. It was so much fun. Thanks to our dear friend, Liz, who grew up in the Portland, ME area, we had wonderful suggestions. I got my orchard fix...actually, we ended up visiting two orchards...we picked apples at Randall Orchards in Maine, and then on our way home, we stopped at Russell Orchards for hot cider and hot cider donuts and a walk around their beautiful farm grounds. We stopped in Kennebunkport for lunch, we had breakfast at the most yummy diner on one of the wharfs in Portland, we visited Freeport for the LL Bean flagship store and outlet shopping, and made our way out to Cape Elizabeth for lunch at the Lobster Shack on the rocky Maine coast...all of it was amazing.

Sean got to eat lots of lobster - lobster rolls, omelets, bisque, etc. He loved it. The trees were beautiful on our way up, but not quite as vibrant as we had expected. On the way home, it was amazing how much more colorful they were!

Here are a few snaps...

Pretty lighthouse out near Lobster Shack...

This guy, "Big Boy", was just too cute. He weighs 1000+ pounds!
Liz...this one is for you - the lobster/swiss omelette at Becky's - YUM!!
Don't you agree?

Nothing better than apples picked with your own two hands...

Some rowboats in Kennebunkport...what a pretty sight.

Cute sign for the town...
