Maine

Okay so Stephen and I went out and did some fun things in Maine before we got married. To recap and then show some pics. We went to a lighthouse called Nubble Lighthouse and went down by the beach to watch the waves. We went to another beach that we could actually walk in the water and the Atlantic is FREEZING! Oh, my goodness. While there we found a bigger sand dollar, a smaller sand dollar, and a rock that looked like a heart. I saw a real star fish for the first time ever, which was fun for me. We went to a beautiful little garden area and then sat by a ports mouth with all the boats, and the town was actually called 'Portsmouth.' We got rained on and had to seek shelter. It was funny. We went to a beach and actually got into the water and went swimming, or more like jumped some waves. We got to see some awesome fireworks after walking what felt like 10 million miles to get there. We saw a 1700lb chocolate moose with baby cubs, got some of the best salt water taffy, tried seafood like, Haddock, lobster tail, lobster roll, and shrimp. I had tried shrimp before. But other than that the other seafood was all new. It was delicious. I miss the seafood so much. The lobster roll is a hot dog bun and instead of a hot dog it is lobster meat. Oh, so good. Over all we had a great time in Maine. The new experiences and the atmosphere, the culture was all fun to see and learn. It seems so many people in Maine love to walk, they love to just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, they love to just be active and play and be walking and playing and talking and it all seemed so different than AZ. It was nice and pleasant. The other thing was everyone ate ice cream. I was introduced to the Famous and I mean "Famous Brown's Old Fashioned ice cream" and it was too die for. It was sooooooo good. It was also kind of fun since it was 'Brown's' and now that being my last name we had to like it! No, it was really good regardless of the name of the place. Oh I miss Maine. It was definitlley a place that I want to go back to and somewhere I would suggest for anyone to go and visit.

I love that you guys had so much fun. I want to head back east to see my dad sometime. I think I'll have to take a whole month so I can hit the whole east coast!

Okay...so I read Carissa's blog and I had no idea you weren't in on the Twilight thing yet. I just assumed...guess we know where that gets people. Anyways...I just got Kristi hooked when I went for 4th of July. Lucky for you if you do get hooked you don't have to wait because book 4 will be out before you can finish the first 3. You will be lucky enough to not go through the torture that some of the rest of us have. I love you Mand!!!

It is such a great experience to travel and taste of the differences (including right in in the good old USA). I'm glad you two had the opportunity to have some fun while you were in Maine. Good memories to look back on.

Fun times! Next time pack me away in your suit case & take me with. It looks like a lot of great memories for your wedding trip. I love to see the world...anywhere, anytime.
