Road Trip 2010 – Day 9

We awoke to another amazing day in Maine.  So far on the trip, we have had outstanding weather.  Today was the day that Emily had been waiting for for the past few months.  Today was the day she got to go shopping with Grandma Curly without the assistance of her son Hunter.  Emily loves Maine and she loves to shop so putting the two of them together can be quite dangerous.  Emily sprang out of bed as if it were Christmas morning and got ready for her shopping trip.  Hunter and I headed down to eat some breakfast, which happened to be the exact same breakfast we had the day before.  Lucky for me Hunter is a big fan of routines, so he welcomed his french toast sticks for breakfast.

After our breakfast we explored the hotel grounds and dug rocks and looked for sticks.  It was so entertaining watching him explore the grounds and tell stories as he was doing it.  To bad he can’t blog because I assure you it would be much more entertaining than this.  After we had sufficiently explored the entire property, it was time for us to head down to the farmers market that we saw a sign for the previous day.  We really didn’t know where it was but KBP isn’t that big so it wasn’t too hard to find.  It took us about 6.5 minutes to explore the twelve tents, 10 of which were plants.  We got some crappy muffins and headed back to the hotel for Hunter’s nap and Emily’s shopping spree.

After the prince got his rest, Colonel, Hunter, and I headed to downtown Kennebunkport to meet the ladies for lunch at King Henry VIII Carvery.  We had eaten here the last time we visited and thought the sandwiches were delicious.  They delivered again.  If you are in KBP and are looking for a break from seafood, check this place out.  We demolished our sandwiches and headed out to check out the town.  There was a large grassy area in front on the sandwich shop that Hunter enjoyed playing in while we found some time to relax.  After Hunter expended some energy Emily suggested that we take a carriage ride around KBP.  This seemed like a good idea to most so we took the tour where Hunter shared the tour duties with our carriage driver.

We enjoyed our ride and headed back to the hotel to relax a bit before dinner.  This was one of the few dinners that hadn’t been planned since 2005, so we decided to go to a restaurant that we had seen in our travels by The Hannaford grocery store.  The restaurant was called Sebago Brewing Company and if you are in the KBP area I will give you directions to avoid it.  It was very average food and since Maine is full of great food, don’t bother.  After dinner we visited the toy store that was just across the street and got to watch Hunter run around the store and point out everything with four or more wheels.  He loves trucks.

After the toy store Hunter and I called it a night and Emily and her parents went back to the Hanaford food store (did I mention that Emily loves food stores?).  Hunter and I drove back to the hotel with the windows down and enjoyed the beautiful Maine night air.  Aaaaah.
