Maine, Golf

On the very first morning I awoke at 5:30am to play golf with a few other bleary-eyed men in my family. We only did nine holes, but it is a good tradition that I hope continues.

Maine, Day One

Libby was ecstatic to arrive at Maine and see her cousins. After 31 years of going to this one little piece of the Maine coastline myself, I was equally excited to be back at our Maine "home" again:

: Emma, Libby, and Micah looking at tidal pools

: Libby and some cousins exploring the rocky shore

: Our house, as viewed from the coast

On the Road

The drive up to Maine usually takes 6-8 hours (depending on traffic and how many stops we have to take). Libby was a champ - we only stopped once at Freeport to go potty and stretch our legs.

Visit with Great Grandpa

Libby and I made a quick day trip down to visit with my grandpa "Bud". It was nice to spend a little bit of time with him, and to let him visit with his great granddaughter:

Libby and I flew into Providence for the first leg of our father-daughter trip to Maine. We stayed with Aunt Debbie and Uncle Peter, who have always been our most gracious hosts whenever we are on the east coast. Libby and I were also able to visit with a plethora of relatives while there, and it was very good to see all of them (Mark, Diane, Kyle, Marisa, Chloe, Garrett, and Colleen)!
