Maine attraction

After we left Reebs's house on Sunday, we headed South into the little town of Freeport, known for its abundance of upscale outlet stores. For such a small town, there's a lot of good shopping! And instead of the large outlet malls I'm used to, Freeport boasted a cute downtown area with clapboard homes that housed outlets for Banana Republic, J. Crew, North Face, Coach and many other brands.

Fortunately, we arrived early enough in the day to beat the Sunday crowds, which were starting to swarm the parking lot as we readied to leave. We only hit a few stores, dropped a bit of cash, then headed down to Portland for lunch.

Portland, apparently the largest city in Maine, seemed pretty touristy and built around the waterfront area. We had lunch in a pub and walked along the main street, picking up candies and toys for our animals as we moseyed back to the car. I'm sure the lighthouse tour is pretty, but I doubt I need to spend much more time there.
