Today was our first full day in Maine. We are staying in a little community called Northeast Harbor which is near Bar Harbor in the "down east" part of Maine. We arrived last night after a 13 hour car ride from Pennsylvania and had our first taste of Maine seafood. Yummy. The waiter also treated the kids to a lesson about lobster. Waiter holding the live lobster: “If this claw got your finger it would hurt and he wouldn’t let go …” Lobster: (waves menacingly)
We sadly dropped Andy off at the airport to return home to work (poor guy) and went on an epic trip to the grocery store armed with a three page grocery list. Alex commented that he thought we had enough food for a year but I bet we are back at the store within the week!
This afternoon, we went over to Bar Harbor and explored some shops. It was raining but not too hard so the kids just put their hoods up and we shopped away in the many souvenir/T-shirt shops. Me: “these are cute pajama pants …” Kids: “Look it’s a lobster and its getting your finger and it will not let go!”
