Eve and I took a little drive to meet up with Rosy in Maine this weekend. Just for the day. We meet in Freeport, ME at the LL Bean flagship store.
It was huge! We had a lunch, did some shopping, then did some more shopping at a candy store that my friend recommended. It had a 1700lb chocolate moose named Lenny.
We then moseyed on down to Portland. People say it’s an adorable town full of funky shops and cool restaurants. We found it to be crowded and I was bummed that there wasn’t much of any water view due to the shipping warehouses. Oh well. We had fun checking out the stores for a few hours, then headed further down the coast to find some good waterfront.
And boy did we find some waterfront! We went to Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth. The state park closes at 6pm and I was worried about getting locked in (is that a thing?!) so we went to a nearby beach that I think it part of the same place. Or not. Who knows. It was BEAUTIFUL though. We got there at sunset and saw the full moon rise. We took a thousand photos — give or take a few. :)
We were going to have dinner at a pirate ship restaurant on the coast, but when we got there they were very, very closed! We continued down the coast and ended up at a diner place in Old Orchard Beach. The diner was a fortuitous find! The food was awesome, the waitress was adorable and as decorated for Halloween as the whole place was. She got Eve a big mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. I had a house-made black bean burger that was way better than any diner food should be. It was a great way to end a really fun day.
