Outdoor chapel at St. Anne's

Contemplating those huge boats on the monestary trail... St. Anne's built in 1889 out of local stone...

Today we decided to go back south and visit Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Portland. Our campgrounds here at Recompence are very family friendly. It is on a farm (Wolf Neck) where everyday little kids come for day camp. Families come here to camp and are fun to listen to. There is usually frizbee or baseball going on in the field. It is a good place to be. We got up and showered on our way out and made it to Kennebunk and went for a nice walk at a monastery. We ate on the docks at Kennebunkport and saw some of the biggest personally owned boats I have ever seen. We then took a scenic drive on Ocean St. stopping at St.Anne’s Episcopal church on the way. They have an outdoor altar and pews overlooking the ocean and the stone church was built in 1889…spectacular. We also saw the 1st president Bush’s house out on Walker Point. We headed for Portland and when we got there we decided that we needed a siesta so we stopped at a big park, laid out our shower towels and took a nap. I felt like a vagrant who was going to get poked with a billy club at any minute but that 20 minutes was fabulous. We looked around the Portland area then on the way home stopped at Day’s Lobster Pound and bought 3 steamed lobsters. At our campsite we cooked some rice, garlic bread and chowed down on those bad boys…they were so good. Another night of a beautiful fire and a great nights sleep. My cold has broken! I feel so much better.
