We had a good time today strolling around Freeport, including the LL Bean factory stores. We found some good deals among all the merchandise, and brought a few items back to the Holiday Road with us. Check out the boot!
After finishing our shopping, we drove over to the South Freeport harbor and had lunch at a lobster shack. It was right on the water next to the pier, and you could pick out your own lobster and sit at picnic tables watching the fishing boats while they boiled it up for you. We enjoyed a lobster, and lobster roll, some lobster bisque, fried haddock, and onion rings. Emma and Gwen loved the lobster! Uh oh...
After relaxing for a couple hours at the campsite and enjoying dinner at home, we headed over to Old Orchard Beach this evening to check out this seaside resort town. OOB looks to be a happening place in the summer, but it was pretty deserted tonight. And no wonder...it was freezing at the beach! Stella, Isabel and Gwen did enjoy looking for shells though, and we closed out the evening with homemade ice cream from Martel's in Saco. I had the Grape-Nut ice cream, which was just like we used to make in Family Fellowship back at First United Presbyterian in Silver Creek. Awesome!

Way Cool!
All the pics look fantastic. I wish you had pics of the lobster roll and the ice cream so I could eat vicariously through you guys!!!-Chris
Ha ha...I had a pic of the lobster roll and onion rings but it didn't transfer from Shirley's phone. Trust me, it was yummy! I'll have to run extra miles tomorrow. Maybe.

Used to go to OOB when I was in Maine. It's crowded with French Canadians during the summer. The locals have a love/hate relationship with them. Most of the love is with their cash.
