The Maine Event...Part 1

We're back. 1400 miles. Overnight stays in 3 different towns. 6 lobsters. 1 wedding. 8 new cousins.

In a lot of ways the trip was a total surprise for me. I talk a lot about how easy it would be for me to live in a place that is warm all year long. I'm half Polynesian so I like to claim that I'm allergic to cold. So going to a place like Maine is not something I would come up with all on my own.

Luckily, family is there to come up with great ideas even if I can't see them. Liz's cousin Leah was getting married to Ben in Sedgewick, Maine. I know for a fact that unless you were at the same wedding last weekend you have not heard of this place either. Ever been in a one light town? Or even a one stop sign town? They're much bigger than Sedgewick. No cell phone reception. No internet. Just beautiful waterfront landscapes and a great party. Actually, I take that back. Uncle Zeke did get cell phone reception there, but you have to ask him about it.

But now I'm getting ahead. First stop on the trip was Beverly, MA to visit our college friend Norrie and her boyfriend Mike. This broke up the drive nicely and they took us to this great little dive bar on the water called The Anchor ("Ancha"). Cheap beer and cheap Lobsta. It was wicked awesome.
