Getting ready to leave on a Casco (Portland) Bay cruise with Cousin Willie..but first....I can tell I'm getting close to home when I see a sign like this! Love those prices!
My morning view.............you can't tell in the picture by the ocean can be seen on the horizon.
A lunchtime picnic at Portland Head Light. The 2nd oldest lighthouse in the U.S. and the most photographed. It was commissioned by President George Washington. The poet, Longfellow, came here to write some of his poems.
The cruise boat in the harbor!
This gal knew how to wait for the cruise boat!
One of the many lighthouses I saw from Casco Bay!
People watching! This dude with the kilt must have been from Texas judging by the hat!
He continued on his way disregarding all the "turned heads"!
Multi-million dollar condos in the bay!
I helped deplete the little neck clam population! I brought these beauties home at $2.99/lb. Soaking the clams in cornmeal for an hour cleanses the clams of sand and grit.
Many more pictures were taken but there is a problem with the disk that is being looked at.
The weather was perfect, absolutely perfect! I spent time with various family members and shared lots of seafood from clams and haddock to salmon pie and more. I'm putting the scale away for a little while.
I have over 200 blog posts in my Google Reader. Lots of catching up to do.
Next post..........knitting progress.
I like the go kart sign part too!
ReplyDeleteI miss Portland- maybe next summer
Looks like a wonderful trip! I'm glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteJoansie,

Lovely vacation with family makes it better .
You look so relaxed and happy.
I've never been to the new England states so I love Pictures and stories.
What a great time you must of had! Such history in the New England states! Wish I could go on vacation this year, but I don't think it's going to happen. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch beuatiful weather & fabulous things to see. Deeply envious!
ReplyDeleteIt is really great to see such a lovely smile recorded for us! So pleased that you obviously had such a brilliant time - you deserved it.
It looks like you're having a wonderful time! I love all the photographs. The guy in the kilt, I doubt that he's a REAL cowboy....a real cowboy never goes anywhere without his boots! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd a great time was had by all....
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time, beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteWell it certainly looks like you had a blast!!! I hope you have come home replished and refreshed :).
ReplyDeleteAbout kilts. A traditional male garment. It wasn't long ago women where punished for wearing pants. I think there's a lesson there.
