We ate lobster rolls for lunch here - great place in Blue Hill, ME. A lot of restaurants are walk-ups like this, although we ate at one of six tiny booths inside. Every restaurant offers a version of chowder, lobster or crab rolls, or seafood of some sort. 
For the CHARLOTTE'S WEB lovers: This is Fern's swing! We were given a wonderful tour of E.B. White's home.
E.B. White was quite a farmer - this is a copy of some of his sheep records.
Sitting in the little boathouse by the water, where White escaped to write CHARLOTTE'S WEB. This is his desk and bench. At the time that was the only furniture in this little building. Note how beautiful the view is from out of the window.
Classic Maine view, this one from the boathouse.
Outside the boathouse.
Their graves, in nearby Brooklin. When we visited the town, I realized that that was the same town where my cousin went a couple of years ago to build boats, as it's billed as the boat building capital of the world. It is very, very small. 
From our hotel in Bar Harbor. This is the ferry that is used to take passengers to Nova Scotia. It was out of commission when we were there.

More to come!

Jim has always wanted to visit D.C and Maine. What fun to visit E. B. White's house!
Your trip looks so fun! I would also love to see E. B White's farm. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I showed the kids- they loved it!
Great photos! Glad you had such a great trip. I guess you weren't able to get into Boston. I remember that the traffic there was horrible, as you say.
Great photos! Glad that you and Mike could make the trip. You will long remember your 25th Anniversary celebration!!!
Your Dad
