After our amazing
trip to Vermont the previous fall, we set our sights on a new state for 2014 - MAINE! We had initially planned to go with friends but it ended up falling through and at one point we were thinking of cancelling the trip altogether. I'm so glad we went though, because we didn't realize at the time, but this was our last fall in New England! We went the weekend of October 9-12 and so we spent the final day of our trip celebrating Tyler's birthday.
This was Kaylee's first trip and night away from home and on the drive she passed through 4 states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine) and luckily napped through all of them :)
Our first stop was at the lighthouse in York,

Litte did we know this was the last time Abbie wouldn't cry when we asked a stranger to take our picture...
 |
We met up with the Simmons family at Old Orchard Beach - they were staying in a beach house with family that weekend so they actually let us stay in their house in Portland that night!
 |
| The sky and ocean looked so cool! |
 |
| Sarah and I - my first time in boots at the beach :) |

After our first night in Maine and some amazing doughnuts for breakfast ... we headed up the coast to continue or journey. The next two nights we stayed at a house in Camden.

| Tyler and I had lobster, Jackson tried and liked crab and Jackson and Abbie ate fish and chips |
On Saturday we headed up to Acadia - it was a couple hours north and not the best weather but worth the trip!
 |
| And abbie won't look ... |
 |
| Abbie loved this leaf and took it home with her :) |
 |
| The brightest tree we found! |
The last day was Sunday, and Tyler's birthday! We celebrated with breakfast at home before packing up and heading to church but not before picking up more donuts :) Then we headed back to Portland where the wonderful Sarah Simmons watched all 3 kids while we went out on a little birthday lunch date!
 |
| 33 years old! |
 |
| Oh sure, now you'll smile Abbie! Tyler was just a little bugged |
 |
| Jackson the adventurer |

| The potential family christmas card photo ... if only Abbie wouldn't have been screaming! |
We had a great trip though and were so glad we visited Maine!
