1:32 pm

penquis

yw....Red's is pricey but the roll is big....

1:32 pm

penquis

Red's is only takeout....but there are tables on the dock across the street....

1:33 pm

joym999

Penquis is Blue Dolphin the same as Dolphin Marina and Restaurant in Harpswell?

1:33 pm

joym999

If so, it's walking distance from where we're staying!

1:34 pm

penquis

Yes, sorry....i always want to say Blue Dolphin...

1:34 pm

penquis

nice, joy....my uncle rented a place around there a long time ago....it looked like it was made of cememted rocks....

1:39 pm

joym999

Red's is kind of far from, but we'll probably explore up that way at some point...sounds like it's worth waiting for.

1:40 pm

penquis

yes, it's about 40 min., I think....lots of places in Brunswick and that is close...

1:41 pm

joym999

what's in Brunswick that worth seeing/doing?

1:41 pm

hokie carla

where are you going joy? I missed the first part...

1:41 pm

penquis

not much to actually see....there is a museum at the college that has a few interesting things...several restaurants....

1:42 pm

penquis

it's the home of Bowdoin college....

1:42 pm

joym999

well, if it rains I guess we can go to the museum.

1:43 pm

penquis

it's on your way to Freeport... ;o)

1:44 pm

penquis

there is also a musical theater on campus during the summer....i assume they will be reopening, but i haven't checked....Maine Music Theater I think it's called....usually good productions....

1:44 pm

joym999

We definitely need to go to Freeport. My daughter will love the LLBean store. Her latest style is men's button down shirts.

1:45 pm

joym999

carla, we're going to Maine for a week later this month.

1:45 pm

penquis

make sure to go to the Bean's discount store before the flagship store....it's only a couple blocks away....

1:45 pm

hokie carla

well, I figured that with the lobstah roll talk 😁

1:45 pm

hokie carla

are you doing the whole state?

1:47 pm

penquis

the places mentioned are not far from where she will be....

1:47 pm

joym999

No, one week in Maine, one week in Connecticut and Vermont, and a stopover or two in Boston. A family compromise -- I've always wanted to go to Maine, my partner used to live in Vermont and has friends to visit, my daughter has a friend in Conn.

1:49 pm

hokie carla

we went to ME back in 2016. one of our favorite trips.

1:49 pm

penquis

where were you, carla?

1:49 pm

joym999

nice

1:50 pm

joym999

I'm really looking forward to this trip. Our first vacation in two years, of course, since last summer was 🏠

1:50 pm

penquis

i wish you good weather!

1:51 pm

hokie carla

we stayed a couple of days in Scarborough at Bailey's and stumbled onto Old Orchard Beach(?) and then we went up to Acadia and stayed at a KOA on the water outside the NP, so visited the NP and Bar Harbor.

1:51 pm

joym999

thanks, although if we have to sit inside and look at the water and cook lobster for a day that's not so bad

1:52 pm

hokie carla

mr. homie got a lobster roll near the Baileys campground and said it was amazing.

1:54 pm

joym999

is old orchard beach/scarborough nice? We'll need a nice bath to stop on our way up from Boston.

1:54 pm

penquis

Acadia is beautiful...

1:55 pm

penquis

old orchard is usually quite touristy.....lots of Canadians vacation there...

1:56 pm

penquis

before you to to Freeport, look up visitfreeport.com and you can see all the outlets there....

1:56 pm

joym999

brb...need food

1:56 pm

hokie carla

we just stopped there until we could get into the campground at Acadia, so basically just rode our bikes to the beach from the campground and then rode down the road and saw the boardwalk stuff and were like, lets check this out.

1:56 pm

hokie carla

was touristy there but wasn't really crowded

1:57 pm

penquis

that was nice....my family used to go there once a year....used to be lots of carnival type things to do....

1:57 pm

hokie carla

the youngest won a basketball in the game we told him no one ever wins and then I had to buy a tote bag we could carry it back in on our bikes

1:58 pm

penquis

LOL....

2:03 pm

penquis

i am done....

2:09 pm

penquis

heading out....bye all....

2:29 pm

joym999

2:29 pm

joym999
