This past week David had a follow-up training conference in
Boston so Benjamin and I tagged along at the end of the trip to travel to
Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The best part of this trip was that we got to fly on
Benjamin’s birthday. The whole plane sang happy birthday to him and the crew
delivered a cake and a crown with the resources they had. He even meet a new
friend and kept calling her his grandma friend. They entertained each other
most of the flight. He was one happy little boy.
On Thursday Benjamin and I took the T to the Aquarium and
then took a boat ride to George’s Island and back. It was such a fun bonding
day with just Benjamin and myself.
On Friday, we headed to Portland, Maine to check out some
lighthouse. I never knew much about them before this trip and now have a little
fascination with them. We got to see the oldest light house in Maine while in
Portland. We even stopped at this little water side placed called Lobster Shack
and had a really good lobster roll. After exploring Portland we then headed off
to Boothbay Harbor to where we were going to be staying for a few nights.
Saturday we took a private tour around Burnt Island
Lighthouse and the harbor then had lunch in town at Lobster Dock. I actually
ate a boiled lobster and really liked it! The rest of the trip we enjoyed
everything the resort had to over which was a lot. They had two pools which one
was heated, a dock that had fishing, kayak, paddleboards and a boat taxi that
took you to town and back. They had a big field and any sport equipment that
you could think of, cornhole was the boys favorite game. They had a nice big
playground, three hiking trails, outdoor chess/checkers boards and a nightly
s’more station.
We were very pleased with the resort and Maine and would
love to visit it again and stay a couple nights longer to explore more of
Maine.
