Mr & Mrs Davis in Maine - Day 1, Part 1



My son and his wife, who were married last October, came to Maine for the first time last week.




It was our first real visit with Jennifer, and though I was a bit nervous beforehand, I needn't have been...it was lovely and fun and lighthearted.

And busy. We packed a lot of sightseeing into the three days they were here.

First on the agenda: the area where we live now.

We started with a 20 minute drive to Camden to see the view from the top of Mt. Battie, in the Camden Hills State Park.









I love this tower at the top of the mountain!














Looks so much like a castle!

That's me and Jed, peeping over the top. :)












The view...365 degrees of breathtaking beauty.

Picturesque harbor and ocean in front...











...and mountains behind.








We slipped into a Thai restaurant in the quaint downtown area of Camden and enjoyed a scrumptious lunch - yay for daughters-in-law that like Thai food!! :)

Jennifer struck up a fast friendship with the owner/hostess/waitress/chef, who I believe would have adopted Jennifer on the spot had such a thing been possible.



Heading down the coastal highway to Rockland, we made a pitstop at the local thrift store.

Brad has been looking for a vintage raincoat for a while; although he didn't find one to suit him, Jed at least had a good time assisting in the search.



More to come....
