We were excited to go to Maine to get to see our friends the Freemans and to hear about their adventures since they moved. We had a great time visiting, catching up, and playing with the kids. We kept Darrell from studying so we hope he didn't get too far behind! It was great to see you guys and we hope to be able to come and see you again before you move again!

This is the Beach that is just a few blocks away from the Freemans. I was surprised how bright, sunny and warm it was! No wonder they spent most of the summer here. Not too far down the road we found this cottage - I'm ready to move in!
Next we headed to Cape Elizabeth. It was a gorgeous day with gorgeous views until it started pouring on us with hardly any clouds in the sky. We ran to the car and looked like we had just gotten out of the shower because we were so soaked! Since it poured for a while we decided to drive to Freeport to check the city out.
Freeport is a great little town with great shops and restaurants and the L.L. Bean Flagship Store. There are 4 - 5 buildings each the size of Costco that make up the store and they're open 24 hours! There is a store just for clothes, another just for hunting and fishing, another with home stuff and furniture, and another for bikes and kayaks. It was so overwhelming with so much to see - I think we could have spent a week in there!
Another of our favorite places was Wicked Whoopies. We had both heard of it but weren't that big a fans of the Amish whoppie pies we had had previously in Lancaster. We decided to buy some and try them out. We went to the car and split the Peanut Butter Whoopie and couldn't believe how good it was! We had to go back to buy some more and couldn't pass up getting one of the Giant Whoopies! Tom liked the variety of flavors and my favorite was the Red Velvet Whoopie.
Full of Whoopie Pies we headed to Portland, Maine to get some official Maine Lobst-ah. We were hoping to go to one of the Mom and Pop Shops that had Lobst-ah for $3.89/lb but they were all closed for the season. We finally decided on the Portland Lobster Company and got to eat out back on the patio on the water. It was a gorgeous night and the Lobst-ah was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back and have more of that lobst-ah! I got the lobst-ahs and Tom got a lobst-ah roll and lobst-ah bisque.
