A Fabulous Day

This afternoon Pam will drive Kaitlin and Jon to the airport in Bangor. On Thursday we will do the same for Patrick and Sarah. The following morning, we will pack up and leave this place after a wonderful month. All good things, they say, must come to an end. But yesterday, we rocked it!

The day started with an excursion to the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse, one of our favorite spots and one that Patrick and Sarah had never visited.




It’s a mile long rock wall that took 18 years to build back in the late 1800’s at a cost of a mere $750,000. It contains nearly 800,000 tons of granite. The walk ends at the stately old lighthouse.





Sarah took a great selfie!!


Then we headed into Camden for a birthday lunch at Waterfront’s.



Then it was back to the lake so these two bums could do what they do best...



After an amazing dinner prepared by the kids, it was time for the flotilla to form for another sunset cruise.


Of course, there had to be a birthday cake for the birthday girl...a whoopie pie.


And, what fabulous day in Maine would be complete without a rock painting marathon??


Maybe the best day of our entire month.

...And now I get a text that the power is out at home because a tree fell over the lines at the corner of Pump and Three Chopt. Our dog sitter can’t get the garage door open to go to work and the power won’t be back on until after lunch. Apparently we are the only people holding Short Pump together. We leave town and the whole place goes straight to hell.
