Maine – July 2014

In late July 2014, we visited Maine.

We stayed in the Kennebunkport area for a few nights, visiting Arundel, Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Cape Elizabeth and Portland. We then moved onto the Bangor area for a few nights.  Below are a few pictures of our visit.

Today we went out for breakfast. We decided to return to Wells to eat breakfast at Maine Diner since we had a good experience there for dinner our first night in the area. We we’re not disappointed. The Lobster Benedict and Blueberry Pancakes were great!

After breakfast, we headed an hour north to Freeport. The big attraction here is LL Bean’s flagship store. And it is HUGE. There are actually 4 stores (that we found). Three are in the same campus and the 4th, their outlet store is located nearby in an outlet mall. We both found things we needed 🙂

In between visits to the various LL Bean stores, we went across the street to Linda Bean’s Restaurant. Decent food. Service was slow so they gave us our Coconut Cream pie free! And it was good pie 🙂

We left Freeport and headed back south and stopped in Portland. We walked around the wharf area on Commercial street and went in a few stores. We had a light dinner at the Dry Dock Restaurant and Tavern. Nancy had a Lobster Roll and I had a Haddock Sandwich. We both had a cup of soup with Nancy having French Onion and me having Lobster Bisque. Both were very good. After dinner, we headed south, back to camp in Arundel.

Today was move day. And it was a day of epic rain. I can’t remember when I last had to prepare the RV for travel in the pouring rain. Been years for sure. Anyway, donned a rain coat and got’r done. It rained all the way (3 hours) to Hermon, Maine (near Bangor).

We’re at Pumpkin Patch RV Park as recommended by a couple of our RV friends. We’re in site 18.

We went into Bangor for the evening and ended up at Paddy Murphy’s Irish Pub for dinner. We split a Fish and Chips and a Guinness Burger. The burger was GREAT. The fish was okay. It was a bit too greasy. The beer was fabulous too 🙂

Today was move day. We moved from Hermon, Maine (Bangor) to XXXXX, Maine(Bar Harbor). On our way though, we stopped at Dysart’s Truck Stop for breakfast. We’d already learned about their famous Cinnamon Rolls and had tried them earlier this week (YUM).
