   maine...
Sooo.. maine...

Well, we drove like 8 1/2 hours the first day and then stopped at a hotel to sleep.. nothing too exciting.. then, we drove the rest of the way the next day. We stayed in a cabin-lodgey-thingy, so when we got there we just basically unpacked and explored the area around our cabin... the ocean (well it was inside a bay and behind another island, so we didnt have the FULL force of the waves) was right in front of the cabin!! It was awesome.. we got to watch the tide come in and out and I watched the sunset from the rocks every night. we went on a whale watch (it was so COLD and WET! Made me never want to go on another whale watch again! and on top of being so bad weather-wise, we didnt even see any whales!) and did some shopping.. well, actually, we did a LOT of shopping, not just "some"! I had lobster one night, which was so good! I havent had it in awhile.. Lets see.. what else did we do? We went on a 5 mile bike ride (it was hard for my little sister and my mom, so that took a LONG time... hehe) and we explored the shore.. we went swimming, but the water was pretty cold, so we didnt stay in long.. I got tons of souveniers (though i dont think I spelled it right ^_^) and oh yeah! We had lobster ice cream! It was SOOOOO weird... It had chunks of frozen lobster in it and well, that was one experience I never would have thought I would have... And I tried chocolate covered blueberries.. those were excellent.. AND (I know, I know.. so many ands and thens) we went to this awesome restaurant that was just like one of the old tea houses.. they had the best food! we also went on lots of hikes and stuff... we fit a lot into a week and I definitely did NOT get enough sleep... so, it was good to be back in my own bed last night.. I woke up at 7:30 this morning on instinct though... and, of course, akito left for camp the day before we got back, so that kinda sucks.. I dont get to see him again until saturday... but, I'm trying to make the best of it ^_^ ANYWAYS! I would love to hear about how your weeks went too! Leave a comment or something ^_^ Have a wonderful rest of the day!
