Samantha's first official "unofficial" trip to Ogunquit, Maine - August 21-26

I'm sure you're wondering why I wrote,  official "unofficial" , trip to Maine.  Well, the reason is, because technically we were in Ogunquit, ME and it was obviously her first time there.  However, Samantha and I went up with my mother and stayed at the Lookout (condos).  She hasn't actually stayed in the family cabin just down the road. :)  So there you have it..

It was a super busy weekend.  We had a friends wedding..

(shout out to mike and marcy)

 downstate in Newburgh.  Momma & Daddy B drove from NH to come babysit Samantha while PJ and I went to the wedding.  I then hopped in the car with them and went back to Derry.  From there, my mother came down from Ogunquit, where she had been for a day already, and picked Samantha and I up.  Poor Samantha that absolutely HATES her carseat did very well for all the traveling she did.  It did take her a few days to adjust up in Ogunquit.  One night she had me in tears because of all the screaming she did.. but that's neither here nor there ;)  That's alot for a 9 week old!  Pj didn't get to join us until the end of the week, and only for a day but he made up for it with some beach and pool time!  And of course Jackie's clam chowder.

We walked everywhere.  Usually with my mom pushing the stroller and I, of course, carrying Samantha.  She wasn't a huge fan of the stroller, although we did get her to take naps in it!  Man did I get a work out.  We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful week.  The weather was absolutely perfect, with the exception of one day!  I finally got a tan.  And although Samantha won't remember it, she saw the most beautiful blue skies, walked the marginal way several times, sat at Jackie's Too twice, visited Perkins Cove, went downtown, and much more. She even got to visit with her cousin Addie who was staying in the cabin all week.  One day they'll be best friends!  Or at least argue over toys... or (gulp) boys!!

 Once again, I can't wait to bring her back up, many many times and finally stay in the cabin.  Look below for some pictures of her adventure to Maine! (the video on the bottom is one I made for PJ to send him while we weren't with him, just so sam could say good morning)

 Just sun bathing :)

 If there was such a thing as a baby tourist.. you're looking at it
