see, he's her lobster!

Main Lobster Festival, Rockland, ME

Saturday
9 lobsters eaten between the 4 of us in 1 day (lobsters for lunch AND dinner OF COURSE)
2 lobster rolls
2 lobster stews
steamed clams
smoked mussels
fried scallops

Sunday
10K run - still came in toward the latter part of the pack even though we were late by 10-15 minutes
Stayed at Inn at Ocean's Edge - stunning, quintessential Maine experience

Mainers, as we refer to them, are SO nice!  We experienced lots of simple acts of kindness, but what really stood out was the staff from the Inn - yes, I know hospitality is their profession, but it was really above and beyond.  Since we had to skip breakfast for our early morning run, the head of the kitchen packed us a hot breakfast, retrieved one of her personal eco-shopping bags from her car, and packed REAL silverware for us to take on the road even though she knew we wouldn't be able to return any of it!!  She also wanted to give us a to-go cup of cream for our coffee but then stopped herself saying, "Is that too aggressive?" LOL

So happy to have shared such a wonderful weekend with such wonderful friends.

Remember this from Friends?
