If you live in Maine, chances are you have people that visit from other parts of the country in the summer. It’s usually family but sometimes it’s friends, too.
A couple weeks ago my father-in-law came to visit. He had a break during classes (he just graduated from Eastern Kentucky University this spring and has started classes for his masters in History) so we had him fly up for a week’s visit.
He’s 76-years-old and spry! So we had a lot planned for the week.
One of the first things we did was go to Peaks Island by ferry. It’s approximately 4-5 miles if you walk all the way around, which we did and it was hot! We packed a picnic lunch and found a shady spot on the rocks under a piece of ledge.

Our lunch spot - a respite from the sun.
A healthy lunch for all of us consisting of fruit, veggies, humus and sweet potato chips.
Me & Dad
One of my favorite photos of the day was this one – I took it of both Don and his Dad taking photos of flowers. It made me chuckle.
Photographing flowers.
Stay tuned. I’ll wright more about the other adventures during Dad’s recent visit to Vacationland.
