We got up, to sunshine blue skies. We heard on the news that Hannah caused a lot of flooding further north from us and it seems she just skirted the Brunswick area because we got rain last night but nothing substantial. Loaded the car and headed to our yummy continental breakfast. Very typical carb weighted food but they did have coffee. We decided to find the nearest Wally-world. There we purchased a small styrofoam cooler and some grapes, apples, juice and snacky stuff.

A few of the pictures are from there, playing guitar, etc. Cabbage Island Everyone met up at the docks in the afternoon, and we took a boat to Cabbage Island for a Lobster Bake. It was a very small island, but had a playing ... read more

We are all packed and just about ready to head out on our adventure. My sister just purchased a MacBook and will be blogging too. Her link is at; (http://pastryroadtrip.blogspot.com) After I leave her in Seattle to fly back to Boston, she will tour the southern part of the country and make it back to Maine in October. Tomorrow we will head to our Family reunion in central Massachusetts and then bunk for the night with my sister, Tammy, and my nephew, Keenan, in the Berkshires. If anyone would like anything from the trip just let me know. We are delivering a birthday present to Keenan in the Berkshires and a pepperoni log to Jan's son in Seattle, Washington.... read more
