The Dog Days of Summer

Wow, it is already August 14, 2012!  Went on vacation for a week to Penobscot Bay area in Maine, two weeks ago. (Big thanks to the neighbors who took care of the animals so we could get away).  Very pretty part of our country!  Never having been to New England before it was a real treat.  Lots of little clean, and sparkling towns along the way.  They are old towns but everything looks freshly painted and like new.  Then of course there is the North Atlantic coast.  Much different than the low land beaches of the Carolinas, Georgia or Florida.  Lots of peninsulas and bays.

Was able to do some kayaking on Megunticook Lake which was a very fun experience!  Went to see the lighthouse at Owls Head.  In this case there were lots of steps to climb to get to the lighthouse itself.

Our time in Maine wrapped up after attending the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland.  On our way out of town it was off to the pier to buy fresh lobstah at Knight Marina.
