East Coast Summer: Maine

7/20/2016

0 Comments

 
  We are so excited to be pinning more and more states on our map this summer, as we travel the New England states for the first time.  We have been to like 39 states now!

​  First up, Maine! I have been wanting to come here since my Junior Year in highschool, when our family took our RV up the east coast for an entire month that summer. It was AWESOME!
  We didn't make it up as far as we had planned, so the desire to see Maine has stayed with me.

  I tell you, the HARDEST thing about traveling the east coast this summer is.....

      A) the low bridges we already mentioned in NY
                                      
      B) finding RV parks that can house us.
 
  And if we do find an RV park with a big rig site, most do not have full hook ups, because they are by the river. So no draining your grey and black tank without unhooking, tearing down and driving somewhere!  
  Grey tank is anything that goes through the sinks, shower or washer.  You can imagine, as a family of 6 that hand washes dishes and showers regularly, it can fill up quickly!  ​

It's just different rules, because west coast water front still does.  So interesting how all the different cultures live and do things!
  There also seem to be an abundance of quarter showers.  I am not even kidding, you pay a quarter, get 5 minutes of water.  I had only seen this ONE other time in the year we have been on the road.
  So, in general, people warned us that they aren't as friendly out east, but we sure had no problem making friends everywhere we went.

Don't get me wrong, we got a grumpy server or two, and if you wave they look behind them like, what? but for the most part, people were super nice. That seems to be the culture of RV life though. Everyone is so friendly and you are like part of this cool secret family. I ADORE IT!

If you are visiting the New England states, they will call you a "Flat Lander". Isn't that a hoot?
And they don't say "R's". I ADORE IT! Like Bar Harbor, is Bah Habah.

​Eeek! I could listen all day......

​
 When we first set up at an RV park, we go explore it's amenities. This one had a river front area with a beach and fishing area that was fantastic.

  Almost every RV park has a picnic table for you to use outside your site, so we utilize it for dinner alot, in these cooler temps!

  I know it's no secret that Dale and I are TOTAL foodies, and totally love eating our way across the USA. {Yes we both gained 10 pounds this year, but never fear, doTERRA has an incredible line for this. So we do shakes for lunch and Slim and Sassy oil on our tummy, to keep things trim, so we can keep eating and we are back to our pre travel weight!} haha :)

  So one of the things we always do is see the local culture and eat the local fare, of the towns we stop in. Whatever they are known for.....

​  Well, Maine is known for Lobster Rolls, that you better believe that was my FIRST order of business when we arrived.

  Ah-stinking-mazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! The clam chowder was divine too!

  After dinner we walked around town, it kind of turned into a blustery evening, but still so beautiful. We must have looked like tourists in our shorts and tanks, because everyone else seemed to know to wear pants and bring jackets for evening on the coast, even though earlier it had been 90!
​
​   We froze, but still hit the beach as you see in the pics below.

Did you see sweet Avery falling in those photos? Hahaha, we laughed and laughed that it was caught on camera, shocked face and all!
   They LOVE playing "Wave tag" whenever we are at the beach, and she bit it bad, when running backwards.  She just giggled and jumped back up to play again.


  Day 3 we decided to road trip from Maine to New Hampshire and Vermont instead of trying to find another RV spot. So we loaded up waters, camera, and Sophie and hit the road!
We drove through Old Orchard to check out the sea side amusement park. We just drove through, and then hit up a Lobster Roll stand.
​ What!? I have to stock up on them while we are here!

​  Breakfast, lunch and dinner would be ok, right?!

  On that note, I need to go eat supper!

​  East coast summer, to be continued....
