Day 3 - Maine and Chunky's

Friday was the day to go up to Maine! Anyone that knows me knows that one of my goals in life is to visit all 50 states and in this trip I was able to add 3 more to the list of places I've been!

We got in the van and headed up to Oguncuit and Perkins Cove Maine. It reminded me alot of being back in WA.

Once we got there we started to walk the Maringal Way (a 1 1/4 mile walk above the rocky coast) and when we got started we saw dark clouds and some funnel like clouds on either side of us. We decided to at least get started walking.



Lobster traps






As we started taking these pictures it got windier and we started to feel some raindrops.





This one may become my Christmas card this year - Melissa did her Christmas card pictures up in Maine last year and I loved how they turned out and she told me when I come visit she'd take me and we can do the same. I think she's right!



After we took these we kept walking and not a minute later we got drenched! The storm cloud was right over us and it was thundering and some lightning in the distance. I love storms and watching one on the Atlantic is a sight to see. With the thunder right over our heads we started to head back into "town" and towards the car.

The whole storm lasted maybe 10 minutes and then we were left as drowned rats.


(If you ever need a smile during the day look at this picture and look at Payton. It's just precious and I laugh every time I look at it! What a face!)

Shortly after this picture we did some more shopping for souveniers (no pins, Dad, sorry. I did get some postcards, a fridge magnet, and a stuffed lobster beanie that said Maine)and we dried off and we took off back to the van to head into Oguncuit to go to the Life is Good store and do some more shopping and get ice cream!

After going into town and visiting the Life Is Good store and getting ice cream (I had *the best* raspberry sorbet!) we left because Payton needed to get picked up and we were going to Chunky's Cinema and Pub to see Knocked Up and Sarah, Nell, and Amiee were meeting us at Melissa's.

After we got back we got cleaned up and I redid my hair and set set up the tripod for some group pictures before heading to Chunky's.





Chunky's is something I've not heard of but had seem something similar on Food Network once. It's a cinema and pub where you go into the theater and sit at long tables in Cadillac car type seats, order your dinner, and eat it while watching the movie. So much fun!

Knocked Up is a hilarious movie and I will definitely purchase it when it comes out on DVD, it's one of those with tons of quotes and I think the more you watch it the more you get and the funnier it gets.



After the movie Nel went home and Amiee came back with Melissa, Sarah and I to Melissa's for the night and Christina was there when we got back!

We stayed up way too late talking and going through our goodie bags that Melissa thoughtfully put together for us (I need to find those pictures) and then went to bed around 2am with plans to get up about 7 so we could get ready for the day in Boston!
