We left Sunday morning and made our first stop in Portland for lunch.
I told John that on this trip there were two things I really wanted to do...
1. eat lobster
2. see a lighthouse
So, at lunch we enjoyed a delicious lobster roll, along with a crab sandwich. Chance tried both and ate every bite we gave him.
Our destination was less than an hour from Portland and we arrived in Boothbay, Maine, early that afternoon.
Once we got checked in, we went to drive around and explore the town. We finally just found a spot to park and got out and walked around. It was the cutest downtown area with tons of shops. We went in art galleries, t-shirt shops, clothing stores, etc. Chance loved being in the stroller and seeing all the people and different stores. I got a sweatshirt for me and a jacket for Chance....we weren't prepared for the 60 degree temps plus being right on the water! After a little shopping and strolling we ate dinner at a restaurant right on the harbor.
We made our way back to our hotel just in time for sunset. So, we got Chance ready for bed, filled up his nightly sippy cup of milk, and headed down to the water. It was absolutely beautiful.
The next morning we drove into town and ate breakfast at a local diner. Then right around Chance's nap time we loaded up in the car to make the drive to a lighthouse. He slept while John and I enjoyed the scenic hour drive to Pemaquid Point.
We enjoyed exploring the area for several hours. We walked through the art gallery, gift shop, and took turns walking to the top of the light house. The view was breathtaking!
We then found a picnic table on the water and enjoyed a nice lunch before heading back to Boothbay. That afternoon we went back to the downtown area to make some purchases of items we saw the previous day and we walked along the footbridge crossing the harbor.
We left late Monday afternoon to head back to Boston. It was a wonderful family getaway!
