Coast of Maine Part IV

David brought his drone to play with and wanted to try to get pictures of us on the deck of our house. I was terrified the entire time that it was going to fall into the ocean. While a bit blurry he managed to get some fun ones of us. I love how you can see just how our house sat right on the waters edge. 

This picture of Lily Pond was in the house and I admired it so much. I wish I could have found one to bring home with us. 

Sunday we went to church which was an hour and a half away. It was neat to talk to people who live there and others who were also passing through like us. Then we spent the rest of the day home. It was a wonderfully lazy Sunday afternoon. The kids loves looking through the telescopes and binoculars at passing boats. 

 Dallin sat here for a while just taking it all in. 

I love how you can see the water through this giant wall of windows. 

We walked the path one last time down to our beach. Carmen could have spent all day everyday looking for sea glass. 

And Dallin could watch the boats all day long. This one got close enough that he could talk to the fisherman. 

We then said goodbye to our little beach and took the path back up to the house. Isn't that a dreamy path to walk?!

We made one last trip to Scott's landing and enjoyed the sunset here.

We did Cadilac Mountain "take two" hoping for no fog this time. We passed my favorite little meadow again and this time I convinced everyone to get out of the car to take more pictures.

There we are at the top again. And wow! What a view on this clear day. And so many fun rocks and landings to explore up there. 

Finally, we had to say goodbye to Maine. On our way out of the state and back home, we stopped at one more lighthouse. Nubble Lighthouse was the ideal lighthouse that you imagine sitting on the rocky shore. This was as close as you could get to it though. While lighthouses aren't really needed anymore, most of them are still lived in by a keeper and their family. 

This was a trip for the books! We loved every minute of Maine. Never bored or lacking for things to do. And now when we ask our kids what their favorite vacation has been, they all agree that it was Maine. (even over their TWO trips to Hawaii) I guess we'll be coming back here again.
