My parents were in town this weekend. We had a great time seeing the sights that you don't always get to- while you are job hunting and getting settled. And getting to eat out was fantastic!On Saturday we took a tour on "the duck" and Cameron was pleasantly surprised when it went off the road and into the harbor! It was nice and sunny for most of the morning, but the fog rolled in once we hit the water and stayed around for the rest of the weekend. (Which made some sight seeing a bit tricky!)
So we went to Soakology- a tea house and foot soak combo place in Portland- it was fabulous and very relaxing! Then we went to the Lobster Shack for Dinner and had... LOBSTAH. Of course the view of the ocean and nearby light house was greatly obstructed by the fog... but it was atmospheric with the fog horn blowing and the seagulls flying around. 
The Lobstah.
Two Toms at our place with little dog. We ate at some great places every night! 555 on Friday night, Lobster Shack on Saturday night and Fore Street on Sunday night! We also went to the Standard Bakery for snacks, and Becky's diner for Breakfast. And what trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Outlets at Freeport and the gigantic LLBEAN store!? Check and check!
Yes there are big plans for their next visit. Including buying some lobster and having a picnic on the green at the Eastern Promenade. Revisiting the Portland headlight when we can actually have a view, taking a little tour of Peaks Island and other Islands on the mail boat... and of course a bike ride here and there, a trip to the beach and getting some golf in!
So if this sounds like fun, by all means come and visit!
