We woke up to a beautiful, sunny Maine day.  We went to breakfast at a quaint local restaurant with really good food.  After breakfast we went over to check out Kristen’s house.  It’s a really cute place. She’s in the process of fixing it up and it’s looking good.

She has a chicken coop and a dog house in the yard.

She has two Corgi’s for the doghouse but no chickens at the moment.  Here are Kristen, Al, Bella and Moxie on the front stoop.

After the house tour we decided to go to the beach.  We went to Gooch Beach and set up chairs and umbrellas and had a very relaxing few hours watching the sailboats go by while soaking up some sun.

After the beach we were off to eat again, this time to a local brewery, Federal Jack’s, with a commanding view of the harbor.

I had lobster macaroni and cheese that was amazingly good.  On our way out of the restaurant we had a group picture taken.

On our way home we made a pit stop at Dairy Queen, my favorite, for a little treat.  Then it was home to work on the blog, do some laundry and get ready for bed.

Tomorrow we’ll start our journey up to Acadia National Park where we hope to do some hiking, cycling and lots of relaxing.  I don’t think there’s going to be any internet at our cottage and we may not have cell phone reception either so I’m not sure if I’ll be posting daily.  We plan to go into Bar Harbor fairly regularly so I’ll try to get something posted at least every couple of days.
