Boothbay, Maine

We are in Boothbay, Maine for a nice long weekend. We are here to attend a wedding but decided to extend the trip. I have heard about it over the years but have never been here. My first impression of Boothbay Harbor is that it's small and quaint.

We are staying at the Topside Inn run by Brian and Ed. They seem nice. We are in one of the out-buildings a short 20 ft walk from the main house. The room is just fine with a little fridge and the view is really nice!

On the way up we stopped in Freeport, Maine to take a look around and have lunch. We stopped in at the Freeport Lobster Company which is next to The Gap and LLBean and above Ben and Jerry's and had our first lobster of the trip. YUMMY! We also stopped at Crabtree and Evelyn to pick up a few gifts from their sidewalk sale. Bargains! We are going to come back on Monday for the last of the Labor Day Sales. On the way home we are going to stop in Kittery at the outlets!

After Freeport, we continued onto Boothbay. So far so good. For dinner we went to McSeagulls, which has something for everyone. The menu is large and expansive and has items for non-seafood eaters. Everything was really delicious.

We did some walking around and decided to do some shopping tomorrow after our morning run. The best part is that we have nothing much else to do other than run, eat, walk around, and shop.

Oh. I do have one small work thing looming over my head. But I should be able to find time on one day to do this. Actually it's a big thing so I will be spending my running time thinking things through.
