Playing tourist
June 2, 2012
The other night we had an impromptu ‘date night’ and chose to hop over to downtown Freeport. It was rainy and cold, perfect for the Broad Arrow Tavern at the Harraseeket Inn. We drank Maine Beer Company’s Peeper Ale, had the pear salad, and pizza.
As we left the Inn, it was hard to resist snapping a pic of the indoor pool!
Between dinner and a movie we had time to spare. Sherman’s Books on Main Street is a great place to grab a good read, a gift, or a Maine take-away {for those who are truly visiting}. They have other locations, too; in Boothbay Harbor, Camden, and Bar Harbor.
The best magazine around {my local favorite at least!}: Maine Magazine
As you can imagine, playing tourist in Freeport is not complete without a stop into L.L. Bean!
L.L. Bean Signature laid out a very Maine vignette!
Luke, of course, found his way to the hunting and fishing goodies…just follow the school of fish.
The ceiling in the Hunting and Fishing department! Love the fish and birds. Perfect for those of us who maybe aren’t so excited about lures and camo, but do enjoy some natural life decor:)
A holiday in the Maine woods
June 1, 2012
Well, hello!! Last weekend for Memorial Day we visited family at their cabin in the woods. {Thanks again guys!} The weather was perfect. We relaxed, had a really fun time, and came home very ready for a shower — just the way you should end such a weekend!
We had a room with a view {and a very cool window from which to look out}:
Went for a hike in the Maine woods:
Took a dip in a very cold brook:
We had dinners by campfire, great company and laughs. No bumps in the night and no run-ins with bears. Garden projects we blew off will commence this weekend.
Have yourselves a great Friday!
