On Saturday morning we packed up the car and the kids and headed to Boothbay, Maine.
First stop on the way up. We left RI around 6am and we made it all the way into Maine before we stopped for a break!
The next stretch in the car wasn’t too long, just about forty-five minutes up the road to LL Bean where Julia “swam” with the fishes in the bubble.
Most of them were bigger than her!!
But she wasn’t intimidated!
After our shopping excursion, we made our way to Boothbay Harbor and explored a little bit.
We started Sunday with a perfect breakfast, complete with Bloody Mary's, at a cute little café in town.
Benjamin appeared to be eyeing Daddy’s drink!
Of course, we had to find a playground and do some swinging…
And some digging…
and some napping for the little one.
The afternoon was spent at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens where I attended a baby shower for Andrew’s sister-in-law, Helki. The gardens were beautiful even with just the Spring flowers in bloom and I can’t wait to make a summer visit as well.
In the gardens, Julia found a bunny…
Tip-toed through the tulips…
and tagged Uncle Jeff!
It was a short trip but we had tons of fun. It was great to get away for a couple of days and we were pleased that both kids did really well in the car and the hotel. That makes us even more excited for future trips, especially since on the next one up there we’ll get to meet the newest Crowder!
love it all! A trip to Maine is the best and we are hoping to get to those gardens too. So glad everyone traveled well. And look at you stylin' mama!! Great scarves!
