Maine Event Fun and Food

It was a little before 7 am when I realized that the morning light was filtering its way through the window.

Soon everyone was up and doing their own thing.  We had no real plan until around noon.

By the time I got back from my walk, Darrell was busy

getting the lobster ready for tonight's dinner.

Mike and Peggy arrived at the campground by noon.  By this time, we were all ready to head out for an afternoon drive.

We first stopped at

The Maine Event 004

Fat Boy's for a small lunch snack.  A pretty fun place...I mean, when is the last time you were waited on

by a car-hop and your lunch served on a tray that hung on your window.

Next...a drive out to

Land's End gift store...were

shoreline.

As, we were making our way back to Topsham, Darrell decided we need a few more lobsters for dinner.  So, we made a stop by

The Maine Event 064

Glen's Lobsters.  We placed our order with

this young man.  He got in his boat and headed out to this floating dock where he

bagged our lobsters and then

returned to the dock.  Darrell paid for our purchase and off we went.  Boy, were

dinner of lobster stew.

While Darrell was finishing the stew, Sylvia made this

After dinner the

  3. When you head south, don't miss Kennebunkport and a little further south Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine. Great campground on the ocean.
