MAINE!!!

Sorry- this is going to be a long post-- I have tons of pics this time!
James had to go to a couple of his stores in Maine this week so we decided to make it a little family vacation! He had to drive up there anyway and get a hotel- why not tag along!! So we left on Tuesday morning. We dropped James off in Portland and then drove back about an hour to meet some friends at Ogunquit Beach.








It was overcast and looked like it was going to rain at any moment. Also it was getting high tide and it kind of kicked us off the beach so we decided to call it a day- while we were waiting for James- we found a Chuck E Cheese so Damon was ALL OVER that!!



After that we went to the Hotel and just hung out for the night!



Wednesday we drove to Bangor. (about 2 hours) We dropped James off and I took the kids to the Childrens Discovery Museum that they have there in Bangor. It was 3 floors of everything you could think of! The kids had a really good time! We spent about two and a half hours there!






















After that the kids had some money that was burning a hole in their pockets so we headed back to the mall so they could each pick out a build-a-bear!

On our drive home we thought it would be fun to take the "Coastal Route" not realizing that you can't really see the coast. You are driving along it, but there are so many trees and stuff that you don't get a great view of the Ocean. So needless to say after the extra 4 hours we decided to stop at Old Orchard Beach in Maine and let the kids play! They have an amusement park on the beach!!





















Here is a slide show of some of the "scenic" pictures we took!
Sorry this was SO long!!
