Maine

Here are a few pictures from our last day in Maine:

Lamione Beach...lots of cool rocks and little creatures 
Teeny, tiny crab
Baby starfish
Maine was peaceful and beautiful

Braden loves Billards...so we hunted down a place to play a few games in Maine on our last day 

Soooooo focused!

TIME TO MOVE ON....

Yesterday was a moving day.  We packed up early and we were on the road after Bryan's first call of the morning.  New Hampshire was the destination and although we were sad to say goodbye to cable tv and our prime waterfront location, we were anxious to be on the road to NH!  A few hours into our trip we heard a very loud, very "not good" sound :-(  Bryan quickly pulled over and we discovered we had 2 flat tires!!!  It was 1:30 ish when I called Geico Roadside Assistance and at 3, we were still sitting there, with an operator in Georgia unable to locate help or tires!  Bryan decided to take matters into his own hands at that point and within 10 minutes of HIS search, he had purchased the new tires over the phone and someone was coming to get us back on the road.  That was a great life lesson - There are times when you just have to take matters into your own hands!

On the side of the road...we were very fortunate that we had plenty of grassy area and were able to pull off the road safely
There they are... Flat as pancakes!
Woohoo!  Lee's Tire Service was there mere minutes after we called!  We were so incredibly happy to see the greasy angel in the Mountain Dew hat!
He got right to work, climbing under the rig - it was not an easy task!
During the roadside "surgery"
Getting the old tires off the rims was a major mission

The boys watched the entire process... We'll call this "Auto Mechanics 101"

Check this out - Tire #1
Tire #2 - YiKeS!!!!
Getting ready to put the new tires on the rims
And we're ready to rock-n-roll!  Thanks Lee's Tire Service!!!!!
Bodie was glad to get back on the road... He had to get back to what he does best....



We pulled into our campsite around 6:30pm.  Hello, New Hampshire!  We can't wait to explore for the next few days!!!
