Who Did We Go to See?

Maine Trip, Day 5 and 6, Saturday and Sunday

Our loosely based itinerary for this trip included leaving the weekend days free so we could spend time with my sister, Mary Ellen, and her husband, Paul, when they weren't working. Because that was really the reason for the trip--to visit family. After playing tourist the rest of the week, we enjoyed our time just hanging out with Mary Ellen and Paul. Here is how we spent our weekend.

Saturday: It was raining all day, so that meant mostly indoor, rainy day activities.

While Ward and Paul were off at a spin class, Mary Ellen and I sat around in our warm robes drinking coffee and chatting as only sisters can do.


We had a good lunch out and then headed back home to get out of the rain.


Paul worked in his shop while Mary Ellen and I spent several hours working on my mother's estate.


and Ward took a nap and worked a puzzle.

A relaxing day for all. :)

Sunday: The rain cleared, so we spent the day out and about.

Ward and Paul went for a hike to Bald Mountain. The joke of our visit was that Ward was so relaxed, he could sleep anywhere.


While they were hiking, Mary Ellen and I went to visit my nephew and his wife where I met my grandnephew. He is five months old and a happy, smiley baby. I was really looking forward to this part of the trip and our visit did not disappoint.


And what would a trip to Maine be without a visit to L. L. Bean? When it was time for the baby to take a nap, Mary Ellen and I headed here. The area around the store has built up to be an outlet mecca, but we only went to this store. Did I mention that I'm not much of a shopper?


It was a good weekend and nice break before we were off playing tourist for one more day on Monday.
