Lucy was eager for the adventure of the road trip. Here's Lucy.
Bridgton is a delightful little town and the home of the Rufus Porter Museum. Addie showed us some of the Rufus Porter murals that are on display.
We enjoyed some great meals, especially the local seafood. "Lobstah," anyone?
Truly outstanding was the "Portuguese Seafood Stew" which included LOTS of seafood simmered in a red wine broth, memorably yummy. The Old Mill Restaurant in Harrison rates 5 stars ***** for this dish!
We took a scenic drive from Naples along highway 114. When I saw the reflection of trees in the calm lake water along the road, I just had to pull over and I began snapping lots of photos. Here are just a few:
This was Lucy's opportunity to do a little rock climbing.
And I just relaxed and took in the scenery.
Lucy and I enjoyed our morning walks to Shorey Park in Bridgton.We walked on this bridge with the flowers and watched the waterfall.
Sunday morning we went to Mass at St. Joseph's. There was a beautiful statue of Mary outside of the church. Another "Panasonic Lumix moment."
Then it was on to Ricky's Cafe for breakfast. Here's Geo while we waited outside for our table.
On the way home we stopped in Bath, New Hampshire. There was a busy smokehouse between the buildings.
Here is the town's general store where I had a peanut butter cookie (self-service, leave your money on the counter) ...
and the ice cream shop where Geo enjoyed a banana split. A nice break along the way.
It was a short trip, but so nice to see Addie again and fun to spend a few days in the vacationland of Maine.
