 L L Bean headquarters













This is just a teaser post.  I am actually going to do a separate blog book of just this trip.   Blog spot would not like me uploading all 600+ pictures I took on this beautiful visit to Brian's home state.   In a nut shell, we had an absolute ball visiting the Vacation State.  :)   We were able to stay at Grammie's condo in Kennebunkport that was just wonderful.   We could spread out, be our noisy selves and we didn't completely drive Grampa Mike and Ms Lynn crazy with our loud  life 100% of the time.  And the 25 min trip in to Westbrook gave the girls chances to nap frequently making them much more agreeable.   We squeezed as much into the week long stay as we could.   A day shopping in Freeport, a visit to Gray animal farm to see my first moose,  a day at the Friarburg fair, and Portland Head and finished w/ good old touristy browsing through Kennebunkport.  The trip ended with a meal at the Maine Diner and the most amazing crabcakes and lobster sandwiches we could imagine.   A memorable time for sure and I have a ton of work to do to put the photos into a book to enjoy the photos for years to come.  But just to not leave it out of this book and blog this is a taste of a very special time.
