Brandon is leaving tomorrow, so we had to drive down the coast, closer to Portland. We had not yet stopped for lobster, so that was a top priority for lunch. The drive down was just as picturesque as the towns, we found a lobster shack to stop at for lunch, as well as the Bunny’s birthday party. (Her birthday is tomorrow, but Brandon won’t be here tomorrow, so we are celebrating today.)
The lobster was quite lovely. Fortunately, the kids thought it was gross, so we didn’t have to share a single bite with them. The crab shack appeared to have just recently put in the deck we ate on, as the wood was brand new and unweathered. The deck looked out over a bay filled with bright boats and a bustling barge. The kids thought it was a great idea to dangle their feet over the railing and test out their arm strength while risking a 30 foot drop. I put a stop to that!
Bunny Boo loved her presents, opening each quite solemnly, and as we didn’t have a cake for her, we promised to find her some donuts or something equal in the morning. She was satisfied with that arrangement. When you are 5, you are old enough to understand these things and be a big girl about it, I guess.
We drove down the coat until we came to our campground, about 20 minutes from Portland. Yet again, we found ourselves at a beautiful spot, but this time we were right at the edge of the water! This campground was on a peninsula such that each site was either on the water or just across the path from the water, and tents got the best spots! There was also a really fun playground and a small dock for fishing. And Judah did fish, his dream finally coming true! He caught a small piece of sea weed and kept it carefully in his tackle box to look at later.
This is such a wonderful campground, and we wish we had another day here, but we don’t, and so we’ll have to remember this place for another time. Brandon leaves tomorrow, and so we have run out of time in Maine. Tomorrow we officially begin our journey back home, and we will miss our Popi very much over the next few weeks!
