Anniversary Trip: Camden/Rockland Edition

Ahhhhh.....that pretty much sums it up.  Our anniversary trip was just what we needed and Maine was obviously just bragging with all of that perfectly-sunny-and-warm-with-a-gentle-sea-breeze weather we enjoyed. For real. 

Our first day consisted of an early drive up the coast of Maine, windows open, coffees and scones in hand.  We stopped for a while at a road side flea market and spent $4 for 3 ties and a copper tea pot. After dropping off our stuff at our way-cute bed and breakfast in Camden, we spent the rest of the afternoon picnicking by the harbor, walking around town, window shopping and eating ice cream.  That night we decided to go to nearby Rockland to watch the sunset by a long breakwater jetty (I think that's what you call it?) that leads to a lighthouse.   It was glorious and by the time we were sitting down to dinner in a fancy restaurant in Rockland it was probably 9:30 or 10:00.  When you get used to being in the house by 7 to put the baby to bed, it's especially nice to take advantage of sunsets over the Atlantic and super late European dinners. And of course we ended the night with the chocolate covered strawberries and wine my sister surprised us with. :)

Tomorrow, adventures on Monhegan Island!
