My husband and I recently did some camping up in Freeport Maine. We had an oceanfront campsite on Casco Bay in Freeport at the
Recompence Shore Campground.

Not one drop of rain, the temps were in the mid 80’s and our view was constantly changing as the tides flowed in and out of the bay. Across from our site was another beautiful but a completely different view, fields with wildflowers and cows grazing, it was very serene.
We did some hiking and kayaking , we ate lobster on a pier, saw the Desert of Maine and did some shopping at
LL. Bean.

My husband and brother in-law even took an LL. Bean kayaking class.
I also got to see my friend Colleen while up there, it was great to spend some time with her and her kids.
My husband was doing some kayaking here, the water was such a pretty shade of green in this spot.

may alight upon you.”

My friend Colleen came by the camp for a visit and brought us a goodie basket for camp survival! She had made some homemade molasses banana bread that was very tasty!
Colleen and her kids are taking some time to cool their feet in the water. It was pretty hot!
When you go to Maine you just have to eat lobster! There’s NO twisting my arm here!

Every night there was a spectacular sunset!, I even caught a beautiful bride & groom right after their wedding!

Beautiful pictures, as always! How fun that you and Colleen were able to meet up. Very sweet of her to bring you a goodie basket, she is a sweetheart! My favorite vacations are the ones... "having nothing to do and all day to do it in". What a fun trip, sounds like you all enjoyed it.
