Fun in Stockton Springs

We were recently on vacation.  Although we didn't take a big trip this year, we took it easy, made some progress on some projects around the house, and took a few fun adventures around Maine.  Our first adventure was a trip to Stockton Springs, Maine, to visit one of my closest friends, Heather.  For those who don't know, Stockton Springs in on the Midcoast of Maine, next door to Searsport.  It is only about 40 minutes from Bangor.  Stockton Springs is a sleepy town, sporting, as far as I can tell, one or two small convenience stores and a diner.  But, it has a beautiful beach.  We took a walk down to the beach the morning of our second day.  Stockton Springs is also about 15 minutes from Fort Knox and the Narrow's Bridge Observatory, but of course, our camera died the minute we entered the elevator to the observatory.  But here are some pics from our walk on the beach.

The beach was littered with mussle shells, little pebbles, and seaweed
