The Rain in Maine...

We decided to take a small vacation. The AF gives you a couple of weeks off after a 6 month deployment. Based on a recommendation from a coworker we are visiting Camden, Maine. We traveled up this afternoon. (One side note - we stopped at a Quiznos - you know how their eating areas are always very small? Well this one might have been the largest one in the world - there was room for the 6 of us (always a challenge) plus at least 10 other tables. - It rocked). After checking in to our room, we looked over the local tourist map for something fun. The Owls Head Lighthouse proved to be a winner.

We walked up to the lighthouse and then walked down to the adjacent beach. We decided that we can’t have all the kids happy at the same time, but between viewing the lighthouse and collecting shells on the rocky beach we were able to at least get a smile out of all 4 kids.

One of the things I have come back to is Cory's aversion to rain/clouds/storms. At the mere mention of "rain" he starts to wig out. Actual clouds and rain send him into a screaming fit. This pic shows that he felt a single drop of rain - and was miserable.
To finish the day we found a quaint seafood place and enjoyed the local fare. Then back to the hotel for some time in the pool (which is really where the kids wanted to be all day - drive hundreds of miles and all they care about is the swimming pool).
