Maine 2003
1. Portland (page 1)
2. Acadia National Park (page 2)
After taking a break from driving in Massachusetts, we made our way to Portland...taking the scenic route along the coast...
There were signs along the highway in New Hampshire to tell you were liquor stores were...apparently liquor is expensive in Maine, so people travel south to get a deal.

Here's the beach there...Long Sands Beach with Tommy frolicking in the freezing water.( air temp was like 55 degrees) |

Next stop for lunch we stopped a little place called Billy's Chowder house in Wells and had our first lobster roll and cup of chowder..oh and a couple Maine brewed beers... |
 |
 |
|
Coming up, we headed up Ocean Ave. in Kennebunkport to Walker's Point in Cape Arundel, President Bush's summer estate... |
 |
 |
Up next is the Wedding cake house in Kennebunk. Legend says
a local sea captain had to rush off to sea before a proper wedding cake
could be baked, so he made up for it with the extensive latticework on the
house.
Now we started out lighthouses of Portland
