I woke up Friday morning and felt like going to Maine. We have been in MA for four years and it was about time we went. We had a fabulous adventure. Enjoy!
We spent the afternoon wandering the streets of Portland.
Custom House
There was some very fun architecture
The Waterfront had lots of boats for the girls to admire.
The Big Cruise Ships were a favorite
My Girls have finally resigned themselves to my picture taking obsession.....
We left the city and headed out on a Light House Hunt.
Spring Point Light
Bug Light
The Architecture of this little light was wonderful.
Portland Head Light
We spent the night in Portland were the girls discovered a bathtub can be just as fun as a swimming pool!
On Saturday we drove an hour or so up the coast to explore some of Maine's hidden jewels....
Our camera battery died and I forgot the cable so these pictures are courtesy of Google image search:)
The girls gathered dozens of sea shells at
Birch Point State Park
Owls Head Light
Amazingly we ended up being in Maine on "Open Light House Day" a first of its kind event. J...... and I (S....... was too short and Biddy was too tired) got to follow in the footsteps of a light keeper and marvel in the view from the top. J...... really appreciated the "diamond" light that made beautiful rainbows. It was a special treat that we will always remember.
As I was quizzing J...... on the purpose of a light house we had this cute exchange
Mommy "Do you think the Ships out in the dark ocean could find their way safely into the harbor without any help?"
J...... "Well they could pray to Heavenly Father and he could help them be safe."
Who needs a light house when we have prayer!
We continued our drive up the coast to find a small town called Rockport. My parents both attended film school there and had often commented on how beautiful it was. They were right.
It was fun for J..... to know she was at a place where Grandma and Grandpa had been as well.
Grandpa told J....... about the "Oreo" cows that lived in Rockport so we went and found them.
We really enjoyed Maine and were so glad we made the trip this year.
Since January our little family has driven from Maine to Florida and survived to tell about it!
