Maine or Bust!

Tuesday night we packed up the car and headed north to visit the Mailloux's at their new home in Maine! It is nice having them in New England. While it's still about a 3.5 hour drive to the middle of nowhere, it beats the 7 hour drive (that seemed to last forever) to Rochester and the horrible traffic we sat in to visit them in DC!

The house is great and they have already made a lot of great improvements. The boys have really been enjoying the HUGE playroom they have here. I can't wait to have a place where the boys can go play!!

Wednesday morning we headed to one of the small beaches nearby as it was so hot (even in northern Maine). David is so used to going to the beach now he just ran right into the water, which was a LOT colder than our beaches! Yesterday we took a day trip into Bar Harbor. It was a gorgeous day, hot but not humid! We walked to a small park to have a picnic, had ice cream at the Udder Heaven, to visit a friend from high school (her parents opened the shop) and drove up to the top of Cadillac Mountain for some really gorgeous views!

Today was a low key day with a trip to the center of town for some breakfast and checking out the local shops and farmers market that was set up. Now it's back to helping with the remodel.
