The Maine Welcome Center


Welcome to Maine!


Darby, Grayson, and Mark enjoying an ice cream at Sundaes at the Beach


Kids were less then thrilled to pose by the sign!


Grayson and Jonna hiked the Marginal Trail along the coastline in Ogunquit


Another great view along the trail


Looking back down the trail at the town


The temperature is PERFECT in Maine in July!


Grayson posing again trail side


Loved the lone sailboat


The flowers everywhere in town were gorgeous


A view from the Marginal Way Trail


The view down Wells Beach


Wells Beach is where we stayed...


Darby standing on Ocean Road headed from Wells Beach to Kennebunkport
...absolutely beautiful homes along this road!


Stopping to play on the rocks along Ocean Road


The Bush Compound -- the Maine and Texas flags
are flying along with the American flag to signify the family is in residence


Darby and Grayson pose by the Bush Compound


Our family was hoping if we stood here long enough we would be invited
in for brunch by the Bush family - nope!


The plaque next to the anchor perched beside Ocean Road


So many sailboats to be seen along the Main coastline


The lighthouse at Cape Porpoise


Grayson posing beside a "rock man" at the University of New England


Artists capturing the breathtaking scenery on canvas


Darby, Grayson, and Mark posing by Two Lights
(we never did find the second light!)


Mark and Grayson on the rocks at Two Light


Taking a rest on the rocks and taking in the salt air


Jonna climbing on the rocks


Darby, Grayson, and Jonna ready to get some lunch at the Lobster Shack


Waiting for their lunch at the Lobster Shack


The line was dying down by this point, but it was worth the wait for the food!


Nothing like lunch ocean-side


What a fantastic place for lunch!


Mark is scaring us with his lobster!


Posing one more time at the lighthouse by the Lobster Shack


Grayson in front of the library at Bowdoin


The Bowdoin Art Center


The church on the campus of Bowdoin


Jonna and Mark in Camden, Maine


The kids found perfect souvenirs at the Smiling Cow shop in Camden


The memorial commemorating those lost for the Union
during the Civil War


Looking down the street of Camden - the most adorable town in America!


How cute is this ice cream shop???
Free ice cream if you are from Ireland or 85 years or older!


Posing in Camden


We found this restaurant in Belfast so we had to stop for a photo op!
