It was raining so we weren't in a HUGE hurry to carry luggage around the house and up the hill when the radar told us it would be ceasing soon enough.
So once we had everything as clean or cleaner than we found it, we loaded the van and made our way back Northeast towards Boston. We went thru the amazing tunnel (the big dig) and over the amazing bridge (cable bridge) on our way thru this wonderful city as we headed towards our destination in Maine.
This is the point where Robby is totally geeking over Boston and his new found love for the city!
From that point on, I honestly can't remember if we took Hwy 1 or I95 up but they pretty much run parallel to each other and it's possible that we used a combination of the two.
We stopped in Kittery Maine at the outlet stores as Kathy from our Milton Airbnb says she drives up there late summer to take the grandkids school shopping. Well, turns out that neither boy was in the mood for any type of shopping but, as luck would have it, we drove past a brewery just a half mile back!
So back we went to Woodland Farms Brewery. The kids went next door and ordered some fancy coffee based drinks and then joined us at the brewery shortly thereafter. The buildings were literally connected so it wasn't a big deal.
Once they came into the brewery, they discovered that there was an old Nintendo console to play video games on. They humored themselves with antiquated games while we sampled beers and talked to the brewery dudes about local stuffs to do. I sampled their Hop Soup #2 (IPA), Blinky (IPA), Galaxy (Pale Ale), Cerveza Medico (lager) and Prenerpils (uh... Pilsner). Yummy, and fun people to talk to.
Back to the point!!!!
We were heading North, ultimately to Acadia National Park but had to pull off the highway at one point to feed the hungry masses!
Mama Chaos found a seafood joint at Cape Elizabeth called The Lobster Shack. It was quite the trail of winding roads and whatnot to get to this place, but we made it. It was busy as crap, tons of people all around and I wanted NONE of it!! I had to pee and even that was a hassle. Couldn't find anywhere outside where that was a possibility and certainly didn't want to go inside, which is what I ultimately had to do...
HORRIBLE!
But, the food was GOOD and, as you'll see, the scenery was amazing!

So there you have it. While there may be too dang many people every now and then, there's sights like this to make up for it.
