Thank You to everyone who replied to this thread & in PM!! Just one more shining example that if there's anything.... I mean ANYTHING you need to know, just post it at Pixies!!
You guys are the greatest!!
Irish: TY - You are correct in that most cities offer about the same as any other and we never have a problem finding something to do. But we like to see the things that are different from home, those things unique to Maine.
It gets easier as the children get older. The oldest ones go off together and find their kinda fun. So we only need to occupy the pre-teen and the young teens. But at least once during the week we do something as a group.
naughtyangel: TY - Four hours for a day trip is about 2 hours to much for our group..... hold on...... did you say chocolate? FREE CHOCOLATE!?!? Being a choco-holic I'd go!
I'll mention it & see what the rest think.
Lilith: TY - Truthfully its nice to just get away. I'd be happy sitting on the screened porch with an iced coffee & a good book.
You should vacation up north some year. My home is open to you & your family.
PF: TY - I should've just gone right to you for help! Do you know something about EVERYTHING? LOL! Lotsa good tips... the Canoe Factory sounds like its from "Red Green". Lobster = YUCK!! My youngest sister-in-law & I don't like seafood but the rest of the gang will be in heaven!
I'd like to know more about this: "....and very interesting geological conditions if that’s your bag at all. The whole tidal zone thing was different and interesting to me...." I like poking around in stuff like that.
Our 'boys' might like the lobster boat thing. How'd you set that up?
Lixy: Thanks for the warning. I had heard that about thier mosquito's but had forgotten. And I can't use bug repellant. (allergies) Guess I better buy myself some netting to hide under! And I plan on having a great time!! TY
Gilly: TY - Since we have King fans in our group, that sounded great until I read what Coaster posted below....
Coaster: LOL. Thanks for the warning.
Irish: Oy vay.... black flys too!!!! Can you keep 'em in NH from July 24 - 31? Thats when we'll be up there.
*hugs*
