Maine

This year, we spent our summer vacation in Maine with my mom, dad, Michele, Bryan, and Riley. Eric and I were concerned with the long drive since Lucas really didn't enjoy long car rides up to that point, but he did amazingly well and proved to be quite the traveller. We rented a bay-front home just a couple of miles outside of Boothbay Harbor on Southport Island. What a perfect location! Secluded enough to enjoy the natural scenery, but close enough to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Every day, we watched the lobster boats pull up right off of our dock to collect their buoys and see what was waiting in their traps. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking in Camden, and shopping at the outlets. There was also a nice beach nearby with a beautiful lighthouse off the point where we took Darby to swim. Of course, everyone loved being able to play with Lucas for a week straight! I think our entire group can agree that we most-enjoyed the days spent at the house, relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous weather. What a fun vacation!
