Maine: Schoodic Point
Libby and I took a trip with my older brother's family to Schoodic. You used to be able to feed the gulls on these rocks, which meant the birds would swarm around and eat from your hand. Unfortunately the park service banned the feeding of birds. Luckily the gigantic geometric rock formations make for a fun afternoon of climbing, even without the constant threat of seagulls launching an air raid.
- Reading all about the rocks and how they formed
- Found the perfect spot for an afternoon snack (except for the mosquitoes)
- Posing on the rocks
- Jeff and Calvin exploring a crevasse
- Amy and Libby enjoy the warm sun
- Calvin and Libby look out to sea

And Now For a Little Cooper…
Maine picture overload? No problem - here's a dash of Cooper:
I know he's growing bigger every day, but when I hold him he still feel so small. Overall he's a good baby - if we could just get rid of his consistent crying around dinner time life would be grand 
Random Pics from Maine

East Coast Food
Whenever I travel I try to take pictures of memorable meals; I do this not only because I love food, but also because it helps me to remember to finer details of an otherwise busy day. Here are a few food snapshots I grabbed while on our east coast trip:
- Homemade blueberry pancakes
- The obligatory lobster (it was close to a sheller)
- Fresh fruit salad
- Nothing beats ice cream and a beer on a warm summer day
- You can see the real blueberries in my blueberry beer at the Finback Alehouse
- Delicious crab cake burger at the Finback Alehouse in Bar Harbor
- The omlette, pre beating
- Carmelized onions that were later mixed into hash browns
- Grilled east coast hot dog buns are the best
- Strawberry filled birthday cake
