Portland, Maine

Our first stop in Portland was at the East Promenade park. The kids got to run and crawl around after being cooped up in the car for a couple of hours. There was a great trail that ran alongside the water where Emerson rode his bike and Eli swam in the Atlantic.


After the park we headed to the observatory. Although the climb up was only about 65 feet, the day was spectacularly clear and we could see all the way to Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The guide said it was only the third time he'd seen it since April. We picked a great weekend to see the city.

Yeah we're all looking in the same direction. Oh nuts, my eyes are closed.

That boy finds the darnedest things. He's always got his eyes open that's for sure.

And to attest to those open eyes...
