Despite how often we travel as a family, our trip to Portland, Maine was the first time we went away together that wasn't to visit family and friends or a work trip for Josh since 2011. We planned this Valentine's day/President's day weekend go to my favorite city in the world.
We bought a two day pass to the Children's Museum of Maine, where Sophia ran immediately into the ball room before we had even bought the tickets. She loved carrying her own bucket to gather the balls and run them down the track.
Since we were there on a Friday, Sophia got a front row spot at the 'Tidepool Touch Tank'.
She spent the remainder of our time at the Museum trying out various career options:
Grocery Clerk
 |
Fire Chief
Ship Captain
Gas Station Attendant
Dairy Farmer
(it runs in the family)
(it runs in the family)
Lumber Jack
Chef/Waitress
The majority of our dining was provided by a grocery run to the Portland Whole Foods. We did get 'Sicilian Slabs' at Micucci's Grocery for dinner one night and walked half a block to the Front Room on another evening to get out of the house for the first time that day after there had been a blizzard with a parking ban and enjoyed grilled sandwiches.
On Valentine's day the three of us shared a Chai potato donut.
The last day of our trip we spent snowed in.
Note the top of the outdoor umbrella, compared to the height of the snow!
