Maine Part I - Getting There

Providence, Rhode Island
It's about an 11 hour car ride (without stops) to get to our final destination, so we stayed the first night in Providence. We had never been there, and most likely won't go back. I'll just say it wasn't my favorite city. But, we did stay at a plush Westin Hotel that was attached to an awesome mall :) Here is the only picture that I took in Providence...

Welcome to Maine

Freeport, Maine

After the Welcome Center, our first stop in Maine was a the L.L. Bean store in Freeport. It's a fun store to visit with all kinds of neat stuff plus they have a cool organic cafe where we ate lunch. Here's a couple pictures...

So glad that I talked Mike out of buying the wool hunters' hats that he and Matty just had to have for when it snows in Delaware...
Camden, Maine
There are so many pretty little towns along the coast, but our all-time favorite is Camden. It is such a beautiful little town with lots of water and boats, great weather (everytime I've been there at least), shops, a waterfall and cafes. I just LOVE it!
Matty was super excited about the waterfall. Oh, and check out his hair - it was like that the whole day. It was really cute, but poor Matty must have developed a complex after so many random people just had to comment on his hair - good comments, but still...

I was able to tame his 'do for this picture...


Checking out the lobster traps

On our way back to the car right before a very thick fog rolled in...

See why we love Camden so much?
