You Can Get There From Here

I love the old Maine expression , "you can't get there from here", however amusing that may be, it is not entirely accurate, a trip to Maine is about getting there.

A promise made when gas prices were lower to get a 3-row SUV for our Maine trip this year, we drove from Southern Rhode Island to the Northern reaches of Maine, Canada is very close by - on only one tank of gas --- I was stunned and thrilled by that, what a bargain!
Usually winding through the quaint villages and towns along the scenic Maine coastline, this time we headed straight up Rt.95 and had another 2 hours on our journey along our favorite coastal stretch until we reached the farm.


Checkers, catching snakes, chasing sheep, milking cows, stunt jumps in sunny hay lofts, gathering eggs for breakfast, having lobsters delivered to the kitchen doe-ah (door), ping pong, long walks through forests of tall pines, great stretches of beaches, making rhubarb apple pies and those fabulously goofy kid talent shows after dinner........

The story of a barn spider named Charlotte and her friendship with a pig named Wilbur....I think I met them this morning.....was written by E. B. White who lived in Maine. We are in the Charlotte's Web of Maine.

Anyone who knows Maine, knows it is a perfect place to vacation with your family, take your time driving up the coast, it is a great New England vacationland, however far up the coast you choose to go. For some presidential history, go across the way to Campobello, it is a time capsule of American history that happens to be in Canada. What is your favorite place to go in Maine?
