Maine - Round Pond & Pemaquid Point

After our visit in Boston, we drove north to stay with Liza's family in Jefferson, Maine. It was very nice to get out of the city be near the ocean.

We spent the first day kayaking around Muscongus Bay with Maine Kayak. Sea kayaking is a little different from the river kayaking we'd done on the Chicago river. We had to get used to keeping our balance in the waves and using the rudder on the boat. It was hard work, but a lot of fun. We saw lots of wildlife and even saw some bald eagles in their nest along the coast. Midway through the trip we had a lobster lunch at the Round Pond Co-Op before heading back to the van.

On Wednesday we visited Liza's Grandmother, Thereas, in Round Pond and took a walk around the land across the street from the house.



You can never have too much lobster! Following our visit with Grammy, we took a short drive to the Co-Op for some more lobster.



After lunch we headed down to Pemaquid Point to enjoy the view and the salt air.





On the way back to Jefferson, we stopped at Pemaquid Co-Op to grab some more lobster for dinner. We dropped by Clark's farm, a small home run farm up the street from Liza' parents to pick up some freshly picked tomatoes and other produce for dinner.
