On the Road from Maine
About halfway on our drive between Rhode Island and Maine are the outlet stores of Freeport. We typically stop here to stretch our legs and possibly find a good bargain. We always stop at the L.L.Bean outlet store because they have live fish and stuff to do:
- Libby loved this giant stuffed bear
- Inside the fish tank (filled with salmon)
- The scene at LL Bean
We lucked out on the drive back from Maine - L.L. Bean was having some sort of celebration so they were giving away free ice cream cookie sandwiches!!!

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.

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:
- Our house, as viewed from the coast
- Emma, Libby, and Micah looking at tidal pools
- Libby and some cousins exploring the rocky shore
