Katy came for a visit. And that visit happened to correspond with Riley's Spring Break from UNE. So we played, and talked, and watched t.v. series, and played, and ate, and talked, and talked some more. I'm so, so lucky to have a *best* girl friend, even as an adult. She's like family.
We took her to the usual Maine spots and enjoyed a few new things as well. Here's a look at the first few days of her visit.
Boothbay Harbor was a new trip for us. The views, even in the March cold, were pretty stunning.
(Thanks Katy for each and ever picture)
This giant rocking-unicorn was a fun find! Hinder took a ride while we picked out a few popcorn bags from this local shop. They had every flavor from salt and vinegar to cranberry! We took advantage of the generous sample policy. :)
Our day trip wore this little teddy bear out! What a trooper!
Spring Point Lighthouse and Willard Beach. I took her here first thing after getting off the plane. It was a sunny, crisp day. A perfect first impression of Portland!
Freeport Fun! Wicked Whoopies is such a New England place. All sorts of whoopie pie flavors.
We had such a good time popping in all the little stores that I can't go in with kids, and shopping for "chotchkies" for her littles. Searching for a gift for her husband Taylor was a task, but I thought this store was right up his alley!
And no trip to Freeport would be complete without stopping at the giant globe. Hello again, Eartha.
"Taty" (as Vyla fondly called her) is so much fun! She made this fort with the kids one day.
We attempted to show her the beauty of Mackworth Island but the weather turned f.r.i.g.i.d. and we left in a hurry.
