My (cute) friend Michelle and I spent last weekend in Maine, where you can drive miles and miles without seeing anybody, there are beautiful views of hills, fields, and oceans everywhere you look, and there are these nifty inventions called lightswitches let's see... just exactly where you expect them to be. We went up for a Brandi Carlile concert that was held at the LL Bean Outlet in Freeport. Brandi sang most of our favorite songs, as well as Johnny Cash, CCR, and Jeff Buckley covers that rivaled the originals. We happily stood through 2 hours of rain to hear her, the twins, and the much-loved Cello Boy, and weren't disappointed - one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
After we staked out a place on the lawn, we toured the outlet (since they were kind enough to provide a free concert). There were a lot of opportunities for indoor nature shots, but I didn't get one in the famous aquarium since I hadn't the heart to shove all the four- to six-year-olds out of the way.
Eat your heart out, Stacy London - you would have worn socks with sandals too if you'd been that cold.
Michelle's family practically owns several lighthouses, including this one that you might recognize as Portland Head. By 'own,' I mean they 'live kind of by.'
Same lighthouse. We are not as angry as we look - the stanger behind the camera took his time while taking the photo while we stared directly into the sun.
This was my favorite lighthouse.
Have I mentioned that I like the ocean?
Sunday afternoon I ate lunch with Cami Inc.'s former housemates (Michelle's sister Kat and her children). Spencer and Evalyn speak better English than the average college professor.

Thanks for calling me "Cute" and not a "sweet spirit" or worse "nice." How did you get such a wonderful shot of Brandi in the rainstorm? This was an awesome post and I am so glad it fulfilled all of my hopes and dreams.
I love Maine! LUCKY! (Said in a Nepolean Dynamite sort of way)
What a lovely get away. I'm happy you and your car made it back to Boston. I also love the ocean and lighthouses.
Fashion Police: Socks with Sandals = adorable knowledge. How do you ever expect to find your EC with behavior like this?
Well I guess now is the time to confess that I also wore socks with sandals at Tanglewood. So I'm a pot and your a kettle, and we're both black.
Wow! What a gorgeous place... I love the lighthouses.
Hmmm...I wonder where my friend Laura is? It's been a while since I've seen or heard from her... Was she obducted by aliens? Did she take a wrong turn and end up in China (well...the Olympics would make that wrong turn worth it, and so would the wall of China too I suppose...).
OH! I see! She's been in Maine!
Oh how that looks like it was a ton of FUN! The weather looks beautiful too. How lovely!
Love to you!
M wears socks with sandals in November, when he refuses to give in to winter. Love your pics, it was if I was there along for the ride.
Hey Laur, shoot me an email so I can add you to our now private blog...Thanks! jynjon19@yahoo.com
We enjoyed visiting with your parents yesterday. It's been so long since I've seen them. They look great!:) We all agree we need to set you and Judd up!
