Last week was the third summer vacation that Chris and I have spent in Maine together but it's the first year we were accompanied by kids! We were a little bit nervous about driving 17 hours with two 4 year olds in back but the trip was actually surprising uneventful! The boys were great...of course, they had a few melt downs and temper tantrums but what kid wouldn't?
We had a great week. We did all the usual things- ran in the crisp cool morning air, walked the Breakwater, hiked Maidens cliff, hung out at the beach, searched for sea creatures, had a lobster bake and whoopie pie birthday cake, ate ice cream at Dormans and scones at Rock City Cafe, and most importantly, spent lots and lots of time with family!
Like always, it was so hard to come back. You would think that each year it would be a little easier to say goodbye after family vacations but actually the opposite is happening. I think I realize a little more every year that no matter how long I live in the south, I will always treasure my northern roots and have a very special place in my heart for New England. Only 51 more weeks until we go back, right?
Her are some pictures of our trip. We took about 185 pictures but unfortunately I can't post most of them as they were of the boys. But, here are a few kid-free pictures!
