Maine Trip: Day 2




Our first stop was Portland Headlight. It's one of the most recognizable lighthouses you'll ever see. This is because it's the oldest functioning lighthouse in the US. It was commissioned to be built by George Washington in the 1700's.


Brady loved the rocky coast. He said that's what he imagined Maine to look like.


He liked this ship wreck site.


Our next stop was Freeport, ME. It's the outlet store capital of the world! They had tons of outlets, including L.L. Bean, which took up like 6 different buildings! We ate lunch in a little hole in the wall and had a delicious lobster roll and cup of clam chowder. HEAVENLY!!!


We then drove a couple of hours to Rome, ME. Where we rented this beautiful lake house, called "Somerset". It's on Long Pond, which is part of the Belgrade Lakes. It was GORGEOUS!


Brady fished off the dock for a little while before it got too dark.


Then it was off to dinner at a little local joint. Brady got the fried seafood platter! Holy Moly, it was huge! I got a haddock sandwich. Haddock is a delicate white fish from the east coast. It tastes just like halibut to me! YUM!
