DINNER WITH FRIENDS IN NH - After visiting Portland, Maine on day #4 we drove south to Portsmouth, NH where we met two of our old friends Laureen and Lisa for dinner. Each of them live near the area, and we all met at a restaurant in downtown Portsmouth. Afterward, we walked to a nearby bakery/cafe for dessert.
As we were walking to the Bakery/cafe, Tom tried to get out of the picture...
"GETTING THE BOOT"- Our last day in Maine was a drive north to Freeport, home of L.L. Bean Company. The outdoor retailer has huge stores that are open 24 hours a day. Here's a photo of Tom and Jeff sitting on the oversized boot display (that you're not supposed to sit on) outside one of their shops.
"THE BITTER CHALLENGE" - Jeff was his funny self, and issued us a challenge because we were criticizing some things we saw in a fun way. He said "The next one to say something bitter buys everyone lunch." I happened to be driving in Freeport near L.L. Bean (before we went inside) and saw a post office, so I pulled in the parking lot to mail postcards I wrote earlier. Jeff immediately said "This isn't Rob's private mail service car... Oooops!" He realized he said something bitter, and we all laughed for about 5 minutes. Yup, he bought us lunch.
- The next day we drove Jeff north to Portland, Maine's airport then turned around and drove ourselves to Manchester, NH's airport (where we flew into). It was great to come back and get our dogs and be all together again.
I like short vacations, because I hate being away from the dogs, and home.
