Freeport & Kennebunkport

We arrived in Freeport on Sunday, July 17^th for a 3-night stay. We settled in at our campground and enjoyed the evening sitting outside under our awning. The clouds in the sky were beautiful.

 

We headed in to Freeport on Monday and enjoyed lunch at Linda Bean's Maine Kitchen & Topside Tavern. Linda is the granddaughter of Leon Leonwood (L.L.) Bean. I tried the lob-stah roll and Julie had a nice salad topped with lob-stah.

The L.L. Bean flagship store is located across the street from Linda’s Maine Kitchen & Topside Tavern. We thoroughly enjoyed looking in the many departments throughout the store. The bull moose with locked antlers are only one of two moose locked antler displays in the U.S. We did buy a couple of items. Julie got a pair of flip flops. I found a nice lightweight rain jacket at the L.L. Bean outlet store for $30 off.

 

Across the walk plaza was a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop, but we were too full from lunch to try some.

 

On Tuesday afternoon we went to the wharf in South Freeport to have dinner at the family run Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster Company. We both got fresh lob-stah, but ordered smaller lob-stahs, about 1 1/4-pound, than the ones we ate in Bar Harbor. Also, these were soft-shell lob-stahs. The meat was very good, but not as firm as the hard-shell lob-stahs.

 

Yesterday, we waited until about 11AM to leave the KOA campground because we only had 49-mile drive to Kennebunkport and check-in wasn’t until 1PM at the Red Apple campground.

We went into Kennebunkport today to do some sight-seeing. Our first stop was to go see President George H. W. Bush's family compound. There was a nice tribute to him with an anchor across the water from the home. We enjoyed looking through the gift shops and then had dinner at a local restaurant. Their lob-stah roll was one of the best I've had. 

 

We head out in the morning on a short 91-mile trip to Littleton, MA where we'll stay at the Boston Minuteman Campground for 5-nights.
