August 29th Long day, but fun too.

Left Moody Beach at 0800, 30 miles up to Big Moose Harley Davidson, and got a pin for Bubba Walt.  



Then to Yarmouth Maine, home of the DeLorme map company, and "Eartha", the worlds largest revolving earth globe-  didn't buy any maps, but was tempted.


Then, to Freeport, Maine,, home of LL Bean.  First stop was to pay homage to the Late LL Bean, here is his family plot, and his site- very plain cemetery, and no ostentation at all- 



Then on to the LL Bean Mother Store-  I was looking for some T's for Tony, but was sorely disappointed, they didn't have much of a selection at all-  did find him a couple though- 


Huge store, busy-  

Then on down a couple of streets to the Patagonia Outlet store for the grandboys- got them a shirt apiece.....


Then, over to Brunswick Maine, home of Bowdoin University-  I had thought I would go to several museums, but the campus was too imposing, and wasn't comfortable with the parking situation- so I basically passed, and headed directly over to Bath Maine, to the Maine Maritime Museum.



Since I had 2.5 hours to kill, I did a detailed visit and took a guided tour of the facility this time, before taking the grand slam 10 lighthouse boat cruise, from 330 to 730 pm!  Super super day for a cruise, and got to see all the lights for the second time.  Nice crowd on the boat.  

Several interesting displays at the museum, including one on lobstering in Maine, and watched a couple of movies as well.  

Got back to Moody Beach by 830 pm, sat at the campfire with Shawn and Trish for a bit, then called it a night.

Resting today, tomorrow is a tour of New Hampshire, then 3 straight Boston trips.  Tracy arrives next Saturday in Boston as well.
