Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Carly & I took our first annual girl's trip this summer -- to Boothbay Harbor, Maine! I pretty much invited us to stay at the home of Robert & Ruth Zollinger (Rob's parents), who live up there May through October. They have a beautiful home and were wonderful hosts!

We mostly hung around their property... we ate breakfast in the nook overlooking the bay, played in a kids room full of toys, picked fresh raspberries & blueberries from the garden and played on the playground in the backyard. We took a few trips into town to shop and dine, went to Boothbay Harbor's only beach to look for crabs and visited their small aqaurium.


It was very peaceful & relaxing, but we started to miss the craziness of our house (Roger, Justin & Chase of course) on Friday and were home on Saturday by 6 pm. I did have a chance to visit the L.L.Bean "campus" on the way to the airport and got Chase a new backpack for his Kindergarten year at the Celebration School. Cool!

Thank you again to Robert & Ruth and also Rob & Terri for being gracious hosts. I hope to return to Maine with the whole family someday to visit Acadia National Park and some other points of interest.
