Walked across the street to Isabella's Cafe for cinnamon rolls. coffee/tea. Neat little local place that was downstairs in old building and rolls were excellent.
Pretty fall foliage in Freeport
Burning bush
Best trees we've seen yet!
Nor your typical McDonalds but this is Freeport's preferred architecture - love it!
We were here in 2012 and had checked out the flagship store of L L Bean, so went back and each of us got a lightweight jacket. Lots of shoppers in this huge store.....Freeport is full of outlet stores. I browsed around and then we were off to Bath which is back north and another quaint little town. Bath was once home to 21 wooden ship building factories back in the mid 1800's. Today there are only 3 and they build steel boats. We checked out the pretty park and waterfront overlooking the Kennebec River.

And then our final stop this gorgeous day was to Wiscasset and experience Red's Eats. This place is extremely popular and well-known all over the state. A list of celebrities who have dined here is listed and along with other tidbits about Red and how it came to be,. We had the recommendation of Mark's brother Jim and Lydia and our Annapolis friends, Charlotte and Doug to be sure and eat here.
We always do what we're told.....especially when it comes to eating! Ha....
It is just a shack-type place with walk-up counter to order and the lines are always long. We waited 1 hr. 30 minutes to order and then another 15 minutes for food, but such a pretty day and stood behind Joe (Dad) and his daughter, Tracy from Tallahassee who are vacationing in Maine for 2 weeks. Joe's wife and Tracy's husband were holding down one of the picnic tables along the water.
Had a great visit with them and compared notes on where we and they have been in this wonderful state.
Tracy and her Dad, Joe
We decided to get ours to go as we weren't that far from the campground. 2 lobster rolls, an order of onion rings and a piece of blueberry cake. The line was still very long when we left town!
Almost there.....finally!
Sat at our picnic table and scarfed down most of our delicious lunch (some leftovers) and we'll have the blueberry cake (kind of like a coffee cake) for breakfast.
Church for sale here in Wiscasset?
Our NC boys are all back safe 'n sound after a fun weekend in Iowa City with Drew. Bummer the Hawkeyes lost to Wisconsin....
Michael is off to Ireland tomorrow!
And we are heading to Ellsworth!
Have a great week!
