Kbunkport, Fortune's Rocks, Old Port

Spent a long weekend in southern maine...

 

Friday --  drove up to maine with my sista – traffic snags didn't bother us all that much because we never ran out of things to talk about. We don’t see each other very often – we talked about life and re-bonded over dunkin’ donuts. Here's happy sis:

                              

Saturday-- great lobster stew for lunch (thanks mom!), mall with mia to look for bathing suits. Tough time choosing – fortunately the salesman decided that I really shouldn’t spend money on more than one suite (“how much swimming are you really going to do this summer?” and “the others will be marked down in Sept anyway”) AND that I should buy the one on sale… interesting eh?  Anyway, I guess I should thank him for preventing me from spending the extra $75. 

 

Evening walk on Goose Rocks Beach. Beautiful night.

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday-- motivated early and went to Fortune’s Rocks for a little sun worshipping – I ended up spending around 3-4 hours there, which would have been fine but I missed a few spots with the sunblock. Have some very unfortunate burns now, located on random body sections. Backless dresses aren’t an option until I can even this out a bit -argh. 

 

Fortune's...

 

   

 

Tried a new restaurant in Cape Porpoise for dinner, then decided to walk around Kennebunkport. We spent most of the time chatting with Evelyn and Bob Paine (of the W. Robert Paine Gallery) and playing with their two tiny dogs.  I have a few of Bob’s paintings in my house – of Goose Rock’s Beach and the Goat Island Light House - beautiful.

 

Monday –as much as I REALLY wanted to head back to the beach (sigh) my random burned spots compelled me to stay away. So Mia and I went to the Clam Shack for lunch (real health food)

 

     

 

and then to Portland’s Old Port to hunt for used CD’s.

 

Spent the evening with the homegirls at Michelle’s house – late night hot tub and all. Home by 2:30am – ahhh - just like the old days.

 

           

 

Tuesday – woke up late, biked around the beach with Mia, lunch with friend Ron at Federal Jack’s, errands, then home.

 

me and cap'n ron :)

        

 

 Lobster Time J   We had fresh lobsters from my dad’s boat (the “Spitfire”) with my aunt, uncle and cousin who are up from South Carolina – YUM.  And of course, we saved one for my return-flight lobster roll. 

Fun pics from the weekend...
