Recap of trip to Maine

So I haven't posted anything on my blog in a couple days. The last post was from Thursday. The trip to Maine was good. Emily and I went up to visit Andy. He is working at a summer camp in Maine for a good part of the summer. (I found out from him that it costs $10,000 to send your kid there for seven weeks. Wow, that's really expensive.) We headed up there in the early evening. It took less time to get to Portland Maine than we had expected, so that was good.

We stayed at a Comfort Inn. Which we weren't even aware of until we got to it. (Since Andy hadn't informed as of the name of it.) It was all good though because there was a Chili's right next door. So close that we could walk there. After checking in and bringing our stuff to the room, we went next door to Chili's. Chili's was good. I got boneless buffalo wings. We split dessert. One thing that I do think was sort of funny about going out to eat there was when we got our bill. Emily and I had ordered the same things and yet my bill was a penny more than hers. I am not quite sure how that worked out. Maybe it had something to do with tax?

Then we left and decided to go make a quick trip to Hannafords. It was only a couple of minutes away from the motel. It was nice how close together everything was. Then we got back to the motel and hung out there for the night. Where we went on Facebook, watched tv, played Mad Libs, hung out, etc.

The next day we got up packed our stuff, had breakfast, and checked out. Our next destination was Freeport. There was a chance that we might go to the beach, but then we decided not to. Plus Andy wanted to show us around Freeport. We ended up spending a good part of the morning and early afternoon there. It was a cool place. With lots of shops all around most of which were outlets. It was fun to just go walk around and look in stores.

We had lunch at some old tavern place in the area. That was pretty good. I was determined to go to a beading store that I had seen on the map. We made it there eventually. I didn't end up buying anything there. The problem was I really didn't know what I wanted to make or anything. After walking around some more, we ended up leaving Freeport and going back to the motel.

We had all gone together in Andy's jeep and so on the way back he took the top off and everything. So it was extremely windy. But it was still very fun. Cruising down the highway with the tunes blasting and wind blowing in our hair, ahh what fun. Shortly after we got back to the motel, we left to go home.

Overall, the trip was a lot of fun. I was glad that it was able to work out. I wish that I had taken more pictures, oh well it is what it is.

Emily- She is ready for some fun.


Andy- Looking very happy.


Me- Looking miserable. It was a lot of fun though.
