You can see the real thing <a href="http://www.siliconmaps.com/silicon_hills.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1542_2.JPG.html 10730 In Old Orchard Beach, ME there were some neat shops - here wa a particularly nice games and puzzles shop. You can tell from the Canadian flag that a lot of Quebecois vacation here :-) http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1543_2.JPG.html 10733 Down by the beach, there was a carnival-like thing. We didn't ride the rides but returned later for what was supposedly the &quot;best skee-ball in the Northeast&quot; and a rousing game of Deal or No Deal. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1544_2.JPG.html 10736 The beach proper! Apparently it goes on for seven miles, which I'd believe given how much we saw. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1545_2.JPG.html 10739 More beach! The ferris whell and other carnival rides we didn't ride on are in the background. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1546_2.JPG.html 10742 David and I walk along the beach. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1547_2.JPG.html 10745 We bought nearly three pounds of Jelly Bellys at a local candy shop. Although we look happy at the time, it was waaaaay too much. (the sun is bright which is why my eyes are closed...) http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1548_2.JPG.html 10748 Apparently construction signs in Maine come with a leaf on the bottom. Which is awesome! http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1549_2.JPG.html 10751 We had lobster at this place right on the shore, which was pretty good. It was foggy, as you can see, and so the foghorn of the lighthouse sounded frequently. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1551_2.JPG.html 10754 This would be a great picture if I weren't leaning and closing my eyes. Oh well. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1553_2.JPG.html 10757 We did some shopping in Portland. Here is hat possibility #1. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1554_2.JPG.html 10760 Here's possibility #2! http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1555_2.JPG.html 10763 And here's possibility #3. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1556_2.JPG.html 10766 But here's the hat I went with. Lobsterriffic! http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1557_2.JPG.html 10769 That night we went to a sustainable dinner, hosted at <a href="http://www.turkeyhillfarm.org" rel="nofollow">Turkey Hill Farm</a>. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1558_2.JPG.html 10772 More Turkey Hill Farm. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1559_2.JPG.html 10775 David with some chickens! http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1560_2.JPG.html 10778 Look, it's E.T. on a bicycle! http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1561_2.JPG.html 10781 We met up with my Aunt Rebecca, Uncle Barrett and cousins Ethan and Chloe. Here we're lounging around before dinner. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1562_2.JPG.html 10784 At dinner, Ethan ponders his meal. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1564_2.JPG.html 10787 David and Jonathan show off our brand-spanking-new grill! With hamburgers! http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1565_2.JPG.html 10790 The grill, closed. http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/gallery2/v/randomQ32008/IMG_1566_2.JPG.html 10793 We took a weekend trip for Labor Day to Port Aransas. Here's the cottage we stayed in - notice a theme?
