Yesterday was a very hot and somewhat oppressively humid day here in southern Maine. With the forecast for a possibility of t-storms in the afternoon, we decided that it would be our best day to go visit the outlets in Kittery.
We started out by first driving into New Hampshire to visit the liquer store so that Maria can stock up on wine for the coming year, both for cooking and drinking. Then we headed back to Kittery to hit the outlets. Both boys wanted and needed some things (clothing and sneakers), and we were pretty lucky in that we found pretty much what they needed. Everybody ended up getting something except for Maria, who didn't really want or need anything.
When we were done late in the afternoon, we decided that it was too hot and humid to just go back to the campground and cook dinner, so we decided to stop and get a pizza for dinner. That hit the spot. We got back to the campground just as the sun was setting. So we started a fire and sat outside for a while before heading in for a family game of Othello and a game of Scrabble.
Today, the plan was to go to Portland to see the Sea Dogs game against the Altoona Curve. Portland is about a 40 minute drive north of here. Unfotunately, we got there to find that today's game, scheduled for noon, was sold out. So we headed back to the campground. I called Portland to see about getting tickets for tomorrow night, but that was sold out as well. They play on Saturday, but that game is at Fenway, so that's out. So it looks like we're getting shut out from baseball during this trip.
We're just going to hang around and relax and then head into Ogunquit tonight to sit on the beach and maybe walk around town for a while.

John and Kevin had fun in the pool at the campground while dad enjoys finding a wi-fi spot at poolside.No idea what's planned for tomorrow or Saturday.
Later . . .
