The 61st Annual Maine Lobster Festival

That's right folks, straight from the book "1,000 things to see before you die", MAINE LOBSTER FESTIVAL! We camped at Megunticook by the sea and spent the days eating dough boys and lobster and riding rides.
And we spent our nights dancing to live music. We heard Freddy "boom boom" Cannon, Jay and the Techniques, and Little Anthony and the Imperials! We bought a pipe recovered from the bay by a scuba diver as a keepsake. We made sure to see the parade through downtown as well. My favorite memory is eating lobster at the big picnic tables and dancing by the bay...

Penobscot Narrows Observatory: tallest public bridge-observatory in the world!

July 30: We decide to take an afternoon in Bucksport, ME. We love americana entertainment, and we got it in Bucksport. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny afternoon (so few of them so far this summer) and only an hour drive south on Rt. 1. We toured Fort Knox, one of the best presered fortifications on the New England seacoast (direct from their informational brochure)! It was established in 1844 to protect the Penobscot River valley against a possible future British naval incursion. And it is the best preserved fortification, because it never actually saw any action! Although with its location along the west bank of the Penobscot River in Prospect, Maine, it has some beautiful views.

Then we were off to go up the observatory and get a view of Bucksport and the Penobscot.



Dinner at Mcleads seafood restaurant with icecream dessert was the perfect ending to a perfect day!
