Good Times with Great Friends!

This weekend we were visited by our good friends Tim and Carlye who flew in to see us from the Twin Cities. They last saw Tatum when she was 2 1/2 months old at New Years; needless to say, they were amazed at how much she has grown and how vibrant her personality is.

Being that we had friends in town we (Lindsey and I) decided to do an adults night out in Portland, Maine with our friends Tim and Carlye as well as some local friends, Mike and Dana (a rarity for us these days). We started the night out at a neat Belgian Beer Garden that had an eclectic selection of draft beer. Following this, we headed to The Blue Spoon in Portland's East End neighborhood for a delicious dinner. Both places were well worth the trip from Brunswick!

Getting ready to head out!

On Saturday we drove an hour north to the harbor town of Camden and visited Camden Hills State Park. Here we hiked up Mount Megunticook, one of the highest points on the Atlantic seaboard. From a perch near the summit, we were treated to an amazing view of the park, Camden, and the harbor down below. The view was also quite spectacular because the leaves are starting to change colors which made for a very colorful view of the area. The leaves will be at their peak in a few weeks. After a downhill hike and a yummy lunch the remainder of the day/weekend was spent relaxing...well, almost everyone relaxed except for Tatum...who started walking this weekend! While we still have a ways to go, she is walking approximately 10 steps at a time which is very exciting!
