Adam and I decided to sneak away for a day and leave the girsl with his sister so that we could have a date! Best idea ever! We got the GPS out and drove an hour or so to the coast of Maine. I had never done anything real touristy there and neither had Adam. It was the most beautiful day. Our original plan was to take a lobster boat out and catch some lobsters. Unfortunately we did not make a reservation which would have been fine except the Blues Festival was going on that weekend. This meant a lot more people were in town and the lobster boats charters were full. So instead we decided to eat lots of lobster! Our first stop was a restaurant called the Brass Compass. When we learned the owner at beat Bobby Flay in a Lobster Club challenge there was no question this was where we were going for lunch. It was delish! A double decker sandwich loaded with lobster and a little lettuce, bacon, and tomato with a side of homemade fries.
Sorry that my pictures are out of order. Here is just a great shot a friendly passer-by took of us by the water.

We found out about this place called the Breakwater. It is about a mile or so long and made of huge cement blocks. At the end is an old lighthouse.

The town of Camden was super cute and perfect for window shopping. The sidewalks were painted with STOP WAIT WAVE and every passing car stopped for you to cross.
