Vacationland...a visit in Maine

After escaping the rain in Halifax we spent a quick night in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick (sadly, we didn't have enough time to catch any exciting tide action). From there we headed down to Portland, Maine to spend a long weekend with Dana and Charlie (that's right we were lucky enough to see Dana for a third time this trip). Charlie's grew up in Yarmouth just outside of Portland, and his folks still live there.

We had a wonderful visit with Dana and Charlie and got to spend a bit of time with Charlie's friends from back home. We also got to hang out with Charlie's grandmother, Butter, for a night which was really nice. Meg got a few knitting tips from Butter which was good, as she had run out of yarn on the scarf she was knitting and had no idea how to wrap it up (I guess they call it casting off), so the finished half-scarf had just been sitting there on the needle for three days.

A major highlight of the trip was a day spent on a Charlie-guided tour of the Portland area which included a beach walk, a delicious bakery snack by a lighthouse park, and a lobster roll on a dock downtown all on a really sunny day. A few pictures of that day are included below.
