Arrived in Maine ~ Saturday, June 16

Last summer Cousin Vickie asked our family to come to Maine with her, and her husband Robert, for a vacation.  Robert had to spend his summers growing up with his grandparents in Kennebunkport.  Poor Robert.   So here is Mom and Dad, going through airport security.  Do you know that after you reach a certain age, you don't have to take your shoes off through security!

First part of the flight went off without a hitch.  Here they are in LaGuardia airport, waiting for our second leg of the flight.

YAY!  We all made it to Portland, Maine with no problems or delays.

 

And see the guy holding the hand-made sign!  That's Robert!!!  He met us at the airport!

He and Vickie had the van rented and Robert and his brother John picked us up.  When we got to our beach house, Vickie had cheese and crackers and little meats waiting for us to snack on.  Plus beer and wine.

Which this child could not drink!  Grandpa (Dad to me) was her accomplice.  So he got in trouble first thing.

You can tell it affected him!

We all raised our glasses to a fun week and the fact that this day finally came after months of planning!

 

Here are some pictures of the area where we stayed.

 

That middle house is the one we were in.  And the amazing thing about this place is the tide.  It goes WAY out during the day, and comes WAY in at night!  During the day there is a beach.  At night there isn't.  The water goes all the way up to the rocks.

My Shug thought he was going to swim.  Water was 52 degrees!  brrrrrr...

After checking out the area we ordered pizza for dinner and relaxed at the beach house.
