Our backyard

Someone once said somewhere, "The whole country is my backyard." That was true for us this weekend. We were on the border of Maine and New Hampshire waiting for a load and decided to take advantage of our location and visit our backyard.

We spent time in a small coastal town in Maine (New Harbor) where a friend of ours used to live and I got to eat my first whole lobster. Of course we subsequently had crab cakes, crab rolls and lobster rolls after that too but not all at once.  Very good stuff! Then we spent the following day and morning in the Bar Harbor area and explored Arcadia National Park.

It threatened rain all day on Saturday but we didn't let it dampen our spirits and had an great day. Sunday brought rain and awesome waves to the coast that were magnificent.

Definitely worth the trip and I would recommend it to anyone who has a few dollars to spend! It's expensive but these days what isn't? Sometimes those few extra charges on the credit card are worth it!
