Not doing much

Well we have not been doing much here in Maine. Guess the main reason we came here is for the Lobster and I have been taking advantage of that. Have been eating lot of the yummy critters. Found that we sure like the lobster rolls and have found a hidden gem of a place the sells them cheep called Shane's up by the Walmart. The other day we went to the grocery store and they have live lobster and will cook them for you. So I ordered 3 (yes for me as Gloria doesn't like them)   and just pigged out.

We also too the bike for a ride to see the Bush Compound up in Kennebunkport. Thought he would ask up out to lunch but for some reason he didn't get the message and was not home. But it was a nice ride and he sure has a nice place.





Also took the Kayak out with some friends we met in North Carolina. It was lots of fun and got to play around in the tide and see how to work it. But as thing work out for me, I ended up putting a hole in my kayak when I put it into the back of the truck. Not good but learned that the skin on this brand (Inova) was real thin. So I decided to take it  back and get a refund. That is the nice thing about LL Bean. So I will do more research and get a  better one as I sure like playing with them.





We will be leaving here on the 27th and starting our trip home. Only 4 weeks till we should be in Denver. Still have some stops and places to see so I will try to keep you up on what we are doing.

Opps guess I have been lazzy

Guess I should bring you all up to date. We left the Cape Cod area on Tuesday as there was lots of rain in the forecast and I didn't feel like driving in it. We drove up the coast to Maine to Moody Beach RV Park. We were lucky as they had a nice site for us to set up in. All went well and we got all set up and didn't get wet. Even got our satellite dish to work. Met up with our friends Joe and Jylan for a nice chat. Well the weather man was right the rain came in the next day. Started out light so we did a drive around the area to see what all was close. We went to Wells Beach to see the ocean and walk on the beach. Not what we expected as the sand was real coarse and there were no shells.



 After that we went south along the water and ended up at a place called Shores. It was a small restaurant and I had my second Lobster Roll. I liked this on much better as they Put butter on it instead of Mayo. Gloria had Fish and Chips and thought it was great too. After that we headed back to the house and then the rain started to get harder. Around 8PM it hit hard and came down in buckets. It came down so hard it broke two arms on my awning. The news said they had over 6.5 inches of rain.
Yesterday was my birthday so we didn't do much. We did go out and check out a place called Shanes up by Walmart and I had a great Lobster Roll there. Then Gloria took me out for dinner at Wells beach Lobster Pound. I had a nice Lobster and she had Haddock both were great. Then it was off the an Ice Cream place for the biggest Hot Fudge Sunday I have ever had. Think I gained 10 lbs. But it was worth it. Well that is about it for now but will try to keep you up to date.

Moving on

Well we are getting ready to leave tomorrow. That is one day before we were going to move but seeing as there is heavy rain called for we decided to leave before it gets here. Hope we will be able to find a place to stay at the park we area going to. The park is full and we will be one day early so may have to stay in the over flow area. We have friends there right now who will keep an eye out for a spot for us. Will keep you up to date as thing go on.

New Sights


                           CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES WE TOOK HERE

Yesterday we took a ride to a place we heard about from friends here in the park. It is called Battle Ship Cove and is just before you go into Rhode Island. Wow is all we can say. It isn't free but the $15.00 you pay to see it is well worth the price. There are 4 ships, battleship Massachusetts, destroyer USS Joseph P Kennedy, Jr., submarine Lionfish, Missile Corvette  Hiddensee, 2 PT Boats and lots more you can see. You can spent all day there going through the ships and seeing all the things inside and learning there history. I would recommend this to all. We were there about 5 hours but decided to leave as it was looking like rain and didn't want to ride in the rain. We made it back to camp just in time.

Having fun still

There is lots to see and do around the area. The other day we went to Rhode Island just to say we have been there. We stopped at the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence. It was a nice drive and the zoo was ok. Not as good as the Denver zoo by any means but nice just the same. They do have some real nice animals that were fun to see and they even have a Dunkin Donuts in the park.

There was also a LL Bean on the way so I stopped off and found a Inflatable Kayak that I liked so I got it. Now I can go out and paddle around in some of the places we find on the way. I did take it out on the pond here at the park and had a ball.



Today we went back to Cape Cod to an area we didn't go to last time. Didn't know where we were going for sure so just drove around. Ended up in a place called Woods Hole and found an Aquarium called Woods Hole Science Aquarium it is a national one and free to go to. Got to see some seals and lots of different kinds of fish from the area. Then on down the road to see the ocean but could not find a place to go out as they want $15.00 to park. So we just drove by and looked.

Ok we have Moved again


                           CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF CAPE COD TRIP

We have moved again to the north east to Rochester Ma. and are at a member park called Gateway to Cape Cod. It is busy park with lots of people. There are lots of pine trees all around so it looks like you are in the mountains. On Thursday we took a drive to Cape Cod and went all the way to Provincetown Ma. It is the farthest point on Cape Cod. It was a great drive and got o see lots of sites but not all as Cape Cod is a large area. Will try to see more later.






                          
                           CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF PLYMOUTH MA.

Yesterday we took the  bike to Plymouth Ma. as the day was great. Took in some of the tourist things like the Plymouth Rock that isn't any thing like you may think. The Mayflower II.  It is a reproduction of the real one and was built in Plymouth England and sailed to Plymouth Ma. in 1957. It was nice to see how the ship looked inside as it is a close duplicate of the real one. We also saw a Grist Mill and a Pilgrims Village. It was a fun day but we were tired by the time we got back but still had the energy to build a small fire and relax.









Will add more as time goes on.
