A road trip to Portland and a bright sunny day to smile on us the whole way!
Our son occupied himself the entire trip learning to read the road map. He's recently been complaining of car sickness...but not today! Homeschool is cool! Ain't it!
Fall scenes in Lewiston...
Peeking at a porch with a pumpkin....
Picnic in the parking lot...
Our favorite Simply Scandinavian stop...relocated from the Old Port (next to Folly 101) to Stevens Ave. It's such a sweet little cozy neighborhood, too! If you haven't popped in to see Mary and her delightful shop, you're definitely missing out on all sorts of tasty treats! And she makes you feel like you're part of the family...even if you're not of Scandinavian connections!
Climbing on the rocks in the common courtyard in Old Port....next to the ever-frequented Starbucks....
and another fun furniture shop over there...
The final stop was L.L. Bean...very quiet and relaxing than compared to summer's rush. Last night, the staff far out-numbered the patrons. I perused cabin and fireplace books while the children looked at nature books...and hubby found a book on living in treehouses. Other than the multitudinous stair climb...I could actually be convinced! We know of a great pine tree...
