Another Maine Interlude…

IMG_3282-1  Maine 2010 - Mt. Penobscot

Tomorrow we head out for our annual Maine vacation…Although we are fortunate enough to stay in the same place each year it is always a little different.  This year both of our children and their husbands and our grandchildren will be with us as well as some young family friends with two more children.  What will be different is that we could not co-ordinate with our best friends and their family to vacation nearby at the same time.  This is the first time that has happened and I will miss them tremendously!  The only two our age to sit and chat and drink wine with!  The only two who might hike as slowly as I do!  The only one who thinks nothing of cooking for a crowd and doing it deliciously!   It will be odd to be up there without them. 

Still…my grandson is excited about the hiking and I am excited about the lobsters so I am sure we will make family memories.  I will be back in a week or so to record those memories with photos…and a few words.

Hope it was a fantastic trip!!! I love that your whole family takes an annual trip together. What a beautiful tradition. Even though I grew up in Maine, I feel incredibly lucky that I have moved back here. My husband and I went for a walk at Two Lights Park in Cape Elizabeth yesterday, and as we came around a particular corner with a spectacular view of the ocean, he said, "I can't believe I get to live here." My sentiments exactly. xoxo g

Maine is my favorite New England state and any summer that includes a Maine trip is certainly a memorable one!
