We brought the east coast heat wave with us up to Maine. It was pushing 100 the day we arrived, but by the next day it had dropped into the 60's. We stayed in a second floor apartment right across the road from the beach. It was a great location. The water was super cold, but that didn't stop the kids from playing in it.
For dinner we went to a restaurant where everyone tried lobster (out of Collin and my lobster rolls), no one was a huge fan, but Leona liked it ok. Afterwards we walked around and saw some salt water taffy being made. We bought some and tried it back at the apartment. People liked the taffy much better than the lobster. While we were there we tried to buy blueberries like in the "Blueberries for Sal" book, but all the blueberries were from New Jersey.
The beach was really beautiful, although on day two it was a bit chilly for my beachgoing taste. We also enjoyed going to a local lighthouse. It was on its own little island with a rowboat for people and a pulley system for sending supplies across to the island. Apparently it got automated about 20 years ago, so no one lives there anymore, but up until that point there'd been a family living on their own little island.
