New England Trip 4 - South Maine

Friday 2010.10.15
The storm moved into Acadia in the morning, blowing strong wind and rain. The news said White mountains, NH region had been blanketed with snow overnight.

We drove to the south of Maine, visting the L.L.Bean Flagship Store in Freeport, opens 24 hours a day year-round. The store is jaw-dropping huge with a giant "Bean Boot" in one of the entrance. Across the store was the outlet shopping's heaven. It's perfect to kill some times walking around on a rainy day.
It's still raining as we headed towards the Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth. It was awesome to watch the raging of a stormy sea as the wind was howling and the wave was pounding.
At night we had a deep-fried smorgasbord of maine shrimps, clams, scallops, and haddocks. So yummy. Had my craving for deep-fried goodness fulfilled.

When we got back to the hotel, we had such a hard time finding our room as it's located at the far end corner, on the highest level, facing the bay. It's so secluded, yet a gem. It's the nicest room we had been staying by far with absolutely the most gorgeous view.

That night, Elle and I hid under the blanket and jumped out screaming "Surprise! Happy Birthday" to Hin and kissed all over his face singing the Happy Birthday song. She loved the part of surprising her daddy so much that she wanted to do it over and over again.

We woke up to a beautiful sunrise just outside our balcony. How blissful. The surroundings of the Oqunquit River Inn was so beautiful and peaceful. We had a wonderful breakfast in the Inn overlooking the bay.

There's a long 10-hours drive ahead of us to New York today. After breakfast, we strolled along the beach in the town. Elle loves beach! Chasing the waves and the birds, tracking the birds' footprints, picking shells and writing on the beach.

On the long road trip, Elle made her left hand talking to the right hand, and sang silly "Row Row Row the shrimp.. life is but a shrimp.".
