This was a rainy, overcast day on the coast of Maine where we traveled from Freeport down to Portland and out onto Cape Elizabeth where this shot was taken.We had a wonderful day. Linda perservered, despite continuing pain in her knee. She wanted to get out of the car when we got to these places along the coastline. She loves the ocean so much! She was able to walk about some at the Portland Head Light and visit the gift shop there.
We didn't get very far today. we took our time because of so many beautiful sights. We drove through the famous summer seaside resort of Orchard Beach, south of Portland and took lunch at a popular restaurant called Ken's Place, where we orderd a big fish platter with fries and cole slaw. Very good.
We finally took a suite of rooms at a place called Village By The Sea, a condominium resort in Wells, Maine. We used our coupon book and got such a deal we plan to be here for the next 5 nights! There are two bedrooms, two baths, a full living area, dining area, full kitchen, laundry and covered porch on a slope with views to the sea; all within 10 minutes of the seaside town of Kennebunkport where the Bush family have their home (we haven't been invited over yet. They may not know we've arrived in town).
We plan to let Linda rest as much as possible and do some short day trips to surrounding sights (like Dover and Derry, NH where I served as a missionary) and stay here through the Conference weekend. So catch a flight to Boston or Portland and drop in. We can put you up in the spare bedroom. We'll treat you right. I've even purchased groceries to do a roast beef dinner for Sunday!

Are you kidding me with these pictures? These are among the best shots for sure! The compliments on the photography must be giving you some added confidence, I think you may have missed your calling in life. Just think what you could do with an awesome camera! This is a hidden talent that you should pursue.
Hang in there mom, sorry the knee is still giving you pain. It'll be nice not to have to travel for the next few days. Wish we could take you up on the invite, but we let some one else use our private jet this weekend! Dang!
Daddy I miss those Sunday dinners on Acacia St. I wish so bad to be there. Maybe when you both get back you could stay at our home and you could make a roast dinner.? I have mustard!!
Mom I am sorry for your pain I wish I could take it away. I love you soooo much.
Dito to what Ann said these photos look like they are taken straight out of a USA Highway magazine or something.
Love to you both stay dry.
