Today the road dust is starting to settle in and wear a little. It is day 7 of 14, and we are all starting to wear a little from the travel, the close quarters and generally being away from home. Still waking up on the lake is beautiful! Kitadin finally showed through the clouds and I took some pictures.We packed up and took a few boat trips over to the landing (i'm not sure 
if I've mentioned it before, but you have to boat back and forth from the car to the cabin), and were on the road by 9 am. We stopped in Newport, Maine off highway 95 for a lunch at Sawyers Dairy Bar. We ordered hot dogs and hamburgers, sodas and fries and finished off with huge soft serve ice cream cones rolled in chocolate sprinkles (which they call chocolate jimmies up North). Back to Randolph where we unpacked the camp supplies and loaded up the dirty laundry. We took the kids and gave Grammy and Grampy a much needed break (they have been so hospitable) to head to the local laundry and clean up the clothes. We all desperately needed a shower, and somewhere to wash up (after 3 days with no running water – and a lean to outhouse) so after laundry and a quick dinner at Subway (ah, home) we all hogged up the shower at Grammy and Grampy’s. Heaven.
After our camp experience I can say though I haven’t yet seen a moose in Maine, I have certainly smelled one!

Speaking of moose, there are moose crossing signs all over the highway. One other funny thing from today, after leaving camp we stopped at a rest area on the highway to use the restroom. Brianna walked inside – and what do you know – a port a potty. She said “Mom…I’m about done with these toilets with no flushers!” I said “Me too!”Tommorow off to Camden and Bath for our first bonified lobster dinner on the coast and our first view of the Atlantic Ocean in all of its glory (on this trip -- Jamey has seen the Atlantic before). We can't wait!

Oh, Cassie. Thank you so much for sharing your trip so far. The pictures were wonderful...your prose so descriptive...! I almost felt myself to be there with you. Brianna's and Avery's comments are so hilarious! I'm sorry Brianna hurt herself, though. : ( Thanks again. What you are doing for us is wonderful.
