We just returned from a relaxing trip to Maine. While visiting Jay's Mom we took a trip to Peaks Island. Once on the island we took our time taking in the sites and of course found time to dine on some clam strips. For those of us that have yet to acquire a taste for each Maine entree, the veggie wraps can easily win you over. Here are a few images from our trip -- if you want to take a PEEK.
Here is a quick review of our trip.
Yep, you guessed it -- here's the entrance to the island.
Fortunately, there were plenty of signs around so we wouldn't get lost. From the look of things, updating the street signs must not have made it into one of the island's budgets in a few years. Maybe the residents seemed to forget their home started to gain popularity in 1700?
Surprisingly, we never got lost. Then again, the island is only 3 miles long.
When questioning our whereabouts, we look up and down and all around.
We spent some time at The Fifth Maine Regiment Museum. The building and the views were stunning.
While wondering around a few surprises came our way. One of many finds happened to be an ORANGE house owned by the Clarke Family (Clarke was even spelled correctly -- maybe some distant relatives of mine were from Maine).
After we enjoyed a filling dinner we returned to the ferry and headed back to Portland.
The commute to and from the island couldn't have been easier. We left at 6:15 and never once encountered any gridlock.
Once back at the harbor, it seemed as if we had never left Massachusetts. Boston Harbor was staring right back at us. Home sweet home.
