We were so excited to get to Maine! Neither of us had ever been before. :) also we got to stay w Jill and chad! Jill was my intern a few years ago. I taught w her mom, Joann in different grades.
After settling it at Jill's, we took a ride to Allagash brewing. All they brew is Belgians, which is not our favorite. But who are we to turn down FREE tastings??? The white an table beer were actually both really good. However, they had a beer which aged in bourbon barrels. It was awful.
When we finished here we headed to Sebago brewing. Their beers were delicious. They had quite a few IPAs. I am normally not an IPA fan, but these were real good. We did get stuck taking the tour though. I'm a firm believer that all brewery tours are the same. The only one I really want to go on is cigar city's.
We had dinner w the whole family- minus Jenna (she was working). I ordered a lobstah roll and it was delicious. They actually could've just given me the lobster and skipped the bread. :) we finished the night hanging out at John and Joanne's house. It was def a great night.
On Friday, we headed into downtown Portland. First stop was a place called Flatbreads. We got a pizza here. I can honestly say it was one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. I wish we had one in spring hill! Next we walked to shipyard brewing. Amazing beer prices on their stuff! Also great 7 minute tour. Keep it short and simple. They even gave us a great amount of samples (hello lucky number 7).
Aaron and I thought it was our American duty to contribute to the Maine economy. So we bought 12 22oz beer bottles. It was only $2.50 a pop and we cannot get that stuff in Florida! We got about 7 different ones (hello lucky 7 again) and then doubled up on a few. I walked out very happy.
Friday night was full lobstah dinner night. We cooked full lobsters, potatoes and corn. Delicious is an understatement! It was Aaron's first time cracking a full one! The meat was so fresh and yummy. Everything about the meal was great.
We had such a great time w the Palladinos and headed to Acadia national park today!
P.S. I am so far ahead in my one class! And one week ahead in my other! On a roll!
