Visiting Emily

Hi Everyone,

Well I've been trying to post all week about my visit to Maine, but I couldn't figure out how to download the picture below. As Emily stated, I forgot my camera (big surprise), but I was able to find the picture below on the website for Bradbury Mountain State Park where Emily took me hiking - the picture below is taken from the same point that Emily I hiked to. Emily also took me to the beach where we searched for creatures (hermit crabs and snails) - of course I only looked, while Emily picked the creatures up and made friends with them. We also went to Mackworth Island on Casco Bay where we had lunch on the beach and walked the trails. I also was able to enjoy some Maine food favorites - clam chowder and lobster. I did learn how to knit as well (Emily and my wild night out), however, my scarf came unraveled on its voyage back to Baltimore, so I'm now starting from scratch. I need to practice at Thanksgiving while I'm surrounded by experts!

Alright, on my list to visit next are the Philly cousins (long over due) and then I'll make it down south to VA and NC to visit Rian and the Becks. Not to mention I need to get to Hollywood to visit Tanner and Vicki! Perfect ways to fill my weekends while Joe's in class!! Anyway, I highly recommend visiting Emily while she's in Maine - it's great and close (from Emily's apartment to my house took only 3.5 hours). I'm going to try to make it back next summer to go to Acadia National Park.

Only two and a half weeks to Thanksgiving - are you kidding me!

Love,
Anna
