This One's MAINEly Pictures...

I feel very fortunate to have had the summer I had. First, Colorado to visit the Sheppards, then Arizona to visit my mom, followed by camping in Carpinteria and Laughlin with the Browns, and finally, the focus of this post, flying all the way across the country (literally!) to visit the Myles in Maine. I met my friends, Larry and Joanne, in college. Joanne was one of my closest friends in college, so getting the chance to go to Maine, see her, see her husband, Larry, and also meet their kids, Caedmon and Sheridan, well, I just couldn't let that opportunity pass me by. Even though I haven't see Jo in years, the minute I stepped off the plane, it felt like no time had passed. I had so much fun with them and appreciated how they drove me all over the place taking me to enjoy things that they see all the time, yet not acting bored since it was probably the millionth time they had been there. It was a blast and a week I will always remember. I hope they don't mind me showing up again to hang out some more! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them! Oh, and once again, more proof that my friends have the cutest kids--as you will see Caed and Dani throughout. I don't want to bog you down with explanations, so here's a brief summary of what we did:

*Lighthouse at Two Lights--Lobster Lunch at the Lobster Shack--Hiking on the rocks near Lobster Shack

*Day at Pine Point Beach
*Blueberry Picking (I totally ignored the sign that said, "Please refrain from over-indulging while in our fields." In my defense, though, I don't think Jo, Caed, or Dani refrained either. You may think us criminals, but really, we were doing them a favor. The ones we ate were just going to fall on the ground and go to waste anyway. In the long run, I am the one who loses out--I have now tasted Maine blueberries fresh from the source. I don't know if I can settle for just regular blueberries from the store now!)
*Day in Oldport walking around town, eating yummy clam chowdah--then on to buy LIVE lobsters for the lobster pot pie.
As Rachel Ray would say, YUM-O!
