Off to New Hampshire~Seeking Foliage!

Spencer and the Big Indian in Freeport, ME

Our last morning was a fun one in Maine. We headed north up the coast towards Bath. Along the way we passed through Freeport. We did not take the time to stop in Freeport except for the photo above. Not sure how Rossie missed out on this one! Freeport is the town where the LL Bean Factory is located. We would have loved to see that but we had quite a bit of driving that day. Instead we went on to Bath so Laura and I could shop and the guys could pay a visit to the Bath Iron Works. This is a place where they build these tremendously large ships. The boys got to run around a lot and Jim loved the shipyard and the museum there.

And fun shops and cool restaurants
and quaint houses and old buildings!


Main Street

This was a fun place to look around. I am pretty sure neither so us bought anything but then I am not positive on that one! :-) It was just very charming and great to be with Laura and do some girl talk and stuff. We enjoyed a lovely lunch in this little cafe recommended by one of the shoppe keepers.

At the shipyard this is a skeleton of the
largest sailing vessel ever built on the east coast.

rock throwing into the water.

The ships in the port here were big
and fun for all three of the boys.
They enjoyed playing on this schooner.

Laura had packed their lunches
and this is them bemoaning the fact
that they had to carry it on their
backs to the picnic table.

Oh boys! And we thought
the girls were drama queens!

Flashback to Scotland and the
little blue hiney you see belongs to
our granddaughter, Julia.
With her head cast down, she's
reluctantly climbing another set of stairs!
What can I say, "It's familial!

Jim says our Christopher use to do
this but I seriously do not remember it!

Oh well, the torture is over...

I guess they didn't mind EATING the lunch!

These little rascals light up our lives.
