First stop, Portland, Maine. If anyone has been thinking about visiting this town, don't second guess it, do it. We all loved Portland. It's a smaller city with many quaint shops in the Old Port section of town. We found a great coffee shop, Mornings in Paris, that we visited both days we were there. We took a tour of the harbor by boat and I discovered I have no sea legs. Aside from that our time was spent eating lobster as many ways as we could and shopping.
I was hoping to hunt for sea glass during low tide to use in some jewelry but I wasn't up to it right when we got there and I didn't want to get out of bed that early to look the next day. Next time, I guess. We walked around the harbor, poked about in the stores and had dinner. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast of blueberry and cream cheese stuffed French Toast with blueberry sauce and then it was off to Bangor for the concert.

Hope you're able to take a trip to Maine sometime. We're hoping we'll get back there some day.

Michelle, I sure enjoyed your ME trip stories and pictures!! Ironically, we stayed in Maine for 4 days during our trip!! My parents had a condo built (in a converted Victorian) and may rent that as they are now building a new townhouse there... did you see the diner called Becky's? It is within walking distance from Becky's. We took off on little side trips and didn't stay around Portland itself to explore - we'll have to do that next time. I'd love to check out Bar Harbor too - another place we didn't make this time around. That's so cool that you stayed in a B&B (I'm sure the boys were great!) and some yummy meals. That blueberry and cream-cheese stuffed french toast sounds HEAVENLY!! And yae for BNL...Randy said he saw posters for that concert when we were up there. :-)
Cindy, I saw that you were visiting New England but didn't realize that you went to Maine. So your parents have a condo in Portland? We didn't make it to Becky's. I don't think we went that far going west on Commercial St. We actually stayed in Scarborough but it was a very quick trip in. Loved Portland - I would go back in a heartbeat. Bar Harbor was a lot smaller than I was thinking it would be. There's a few nice antique places on the road into Bar Harbor. We stopped at a house with a barn in back owned by an English couple who were very funny. Found a cheap lid to a Fiestaware teapot. Talk to you later!
