While there I was able to experience freezing rain. When we woke up the next morning I found our rental van covered in a 1/2 in. of ice. We chiseled at it for a good half hour and finally got the two front doors and one of the side doors to open. My first ice sculpture... da da da da... a mini van.
We were able to have a little fun. We went to the the huge L.L. Bean outlet there outside of Portland Maine and shot some arrows in their indoor shooting range.
Being in Maine with the locals was a real treat. They took us to several fun and tasty Maine restaurants. I was able to enjoy real Maine oysters, mussels, clams, and mmmm mmmm lobster!
It wasn't all fun and games though, I was there on business you know...

My sister lives in Bar Harbor, Maine, which is close-ish to Portland! How funny! One thing they learned VERY quickly is that you are either from Maine, or "from AWAY". Even if you move to the state when you are 2 years old and stay there until you die at 90, the locals will forever refer to you as "from away". It's their first adjective when describing people, at least where my sister is. Kind of funny! They moved there a few years ago and are DEFINITELY "from away".
Jeromy, you look so old in that last picture. I can say that right? I am the older sister. hehe. Oh, wait. Does that make me look even older. No, I will forever look "25". wink wink.
