We crossed into the USA without issue.  At the Calais crossing, they searched our trailer, and took away a half eaten lime (ok, so it wasn't eaten, it was used in a tequila/pepsi/lime mixture).  So, the USA doesn't want anyone bringing in citrus fruits (even a Florida orange if you had one).  I asked (politely, of course, as I AM CANADIAN) what is the issue with citrus, and he said that he had no idea.  Anyway, a half a lime was no great loss.

We settled in Searsport Maine and spent 4 days relaxing.  Our campsite was right on the ocean.  This is something that Maxen has been asking for for a while now (and I know that Christine really likes this too.  I think that Quin and I are a little more laid back than those two sometimes).  We saw another fort and went up this really cool bridge observatory.  It is the highest bridge observatory in existance and you got an incredible view.

We explored Camden and Rockport and relaxed.  Next on the agenda is Salem and them Foxboro -- Should be fun.

Photos can be seen here, if they don't load.

Had a few minutes this morning to catch up on the family blogs. Sooooo glad you have fixed the layout and picture problems. Fabulous pictures, and terrific studies of the boys (gorgeous pic of Chris at the lighthouse sitting on the rocks). It's funny to see how, already, they are becoming more comfortable and less "posed" for the camera. All the pics from "down east" are making me quite nostalgic. It's getting me thinking more and more about heading east next summer for the 100th anniversary of my alma matter, St Thomas U. Stay well!

    I have realized that I tend to like Chaos.  What could be more chaotic than selling all of your stuff and becoming a nomad for a while.  Heck, it might even be fun, I'll let you know in about a year.
