Pictures of places and things that we have experienced in the last couple days.
We visited the L.L.Bean flagship in Freeport, ME and since it's open 24 hours a day they have no locks on their doors. It's not as big as I thought it would be overall, but there was so many things to look at...a little overwhelming. I know it's hard to believe but we didn't buy anything! Actually, the dog scored a new lead!
Whoopie Pies are a special treat in some areas of Maine so of course I had to try one. I guess they come in different flavors but I can't imagine why anyone would try any flavor but chocolate! It's about 5" in diameter and weighs about a half a pound. It is very good too. I still have half of it left. This thing is huge!
Speaking of huge...we went to Portland, ME to visit the International Cryptozoology Museum and we found Big Foot again! This replica is 8' tall! Sure makes you feel small.
As we were driving along the road in rural Maine I kept seeing these white bundles in the fields. On closer inspection they are hay bales with plastic coverings. Looks to me like someone prefers 'whitie tighties'!
We ventured back into Vermont so we could visit The Vermont Country Store. I have gotten their catalogs for years and am always intrigued by all the "things" they have listed. The store pretty much has all those "things". It's a conglomeration of everything you could ever need. Toys, household items, bathroom items, clothing, cleaning, food stuffs...you name it they have it. They specialize in carrying things that are hard to find and they have things you probably would never want!
The area is very pretty anyway and today with it being a rainy day it was made more so with the clouds hanging low in the hills. We visited the store in Rockingham, VT and they have another store in Weston, VT. If you visit, make sure you are hungry...they have samples of so many things! We are living proof that it's impossible to leave without a food item or two!
