TODAY: A PERFECT DAY IN MAINE!

A few years ago I heard that you could ride the mail boat to a few islands near Portland, Maine and I thought that sounded really fun.  I went today with my friend Allison and her three nice boys.  It was SO awesome (the proof is in the 913 photos).  We caught the 10AM boat and it stopped at 5 islands and delivered mail/freight/people.  It. was. SO. cool.  (There was a new refrigerator and an old stove dropped off on one of the islands!)

We were on the boat about 3 hours and it cost $15.50.  It was fun to talk to a few people, see a boat parade, sailboats, swimmers, a sea lion, kites, the beautiful islands, gorgeous homes, and enjoy an amazing day on the water.

When we docked we went to the Sea Bag shop (they make tote bags out of recycled sails).   Then we drove to Ogunquit and stopped at a few antique shops and Congdon Donuts (yum).  Then in York Beach we bought taffy at Goldenrod (and watched them make the taffy in the window), spent some time at Nubble Light and saw both Short Sands beach and Long Sands beach.  You can't go through Kittery without hitting a few outlets (Crate & Barrel, Bass, and Eddie Bauer to be exact) and then we ended our day eating dinner at Chauncey Creek.  Their lobster rolls are delicious!

I LOVE MAINE!!!
