Ogunquit, Freeport, and Kennebunkport

Jeff, Lars, and I are having a blast in Maine. Yesterday we drove an hour from Ogunquit to Freeport to see the flagship LL Bean store. It's a huge campus with 4 large stores--hunting and fishing; clothes; bike, boat, and snow; and the outlet.

After shopping at LL Bean and few other outlet stores nearby, we headed back down the coast through Portland to Kennebunkport. It was a bit tricky, believe it or not, to find the coast of Kennebunkport. But we saw the Bush compound (from afar) and some of the most beautiful New England coastal houses you can imagine. Look at this gorgeous one in the picture. Really hard to imagine the fantastic view they must have.

After sightseeing and a lot of driving, we returned to Ogunquit where we had a night on the town beginning at the Front Porch. We were too late to get one of the 25 free corned beef and cabbage dinners for St. Patrick's Day, but I ordered it anyway. It was great.

Then it was Maine Street where we had fun dancing and singing. Basically just goofing off. After that we headed back to our cottage for a late night dip in the hot tub.
