Boothbay Harbor

July 24 - August 4
We have had a blast staying in Boothbay for the last 10 days! Making our stay so enjoyable were our RVing neighbors here in the Shore Hills Campground. Charlie and Barbara we already knew. We met these South Carolina residents last winter when they wintered in Bonita Springs. Our mutual friends, John and Rosi, introduced us. We all got together on several occasions while everyone was in Florida for the winter months.

Through Charlie and Barb, we met Dick and Carol who they met last summer here at Shore Hills. RVing is such a network allowing old friends to introduce new friends. Friendships just snowball!

We have had so many afternoon Happy Hours and dinners. I told Barb, we had to leave so that I could get back on my boring diet of chicken and salads. We have certainly eaten well!!
AFTERNOON HAPPY HOURS




LOBSTER DINNER AND MY BLUEBERRY-RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE
SITE #148 AT SHORE HILLS CAMPGROUND
CAMPGROUND ON A TIDAL RIVER...BEAUTIFUL SETTING



The area has been a great place to stay…so much to do and see. The Maine seacoast offers villages to roam and shops to browse. The harbors are always interesting. Just take a chair, sit, and watch the boats sail by or the lobster boats unload the catch of the day.
BOOTHBAY HARBOR
While here we discovered great restaurants and roadside takeouts. We loved sitting on the rocks at Ocean Point on sunny days. A girls’ day out in Damariscotta and the guys’ day out in Wiscasset was a fun time. Going into Freeport and doing the Bean was also a favorite day with friends Charlie and Barb. Lunch at Harraseeket served up the best Lobster Rolls ever!

Our time here is up and we sadly leave our friends…new and old. There will be other times to meet and we look forward to that. Now, we travel to Kennebunkport for 10 days. Here we will be seeing other friends from our Sabal community in Florida…Bob and Jean! We will only be about 8 miles from their condo located in Old Orchard Beach. Stay tuned…more fun ahead!!
