Maine Lobester Festival in Rockland

Another item crossed off my bucket list....Rockland Maine Lobster Festival.  I was in bed and could hear fog horns.  I thought to myself that it must be the fishing fleet celebrating the harvest of lobsters for the fest.  I looked out the window, and they really were using their for horns for the fog.....


We were there the first day of the Festival.  The  crowd was not as big as it will be on the weekend.






We toured all the tents and then got in line for a lobster dinner.  They steam 750 lobsters at a time, so the line moved pretty fast.





We waited in line and chatted with people.  There was only one person I talked to that was from Maine.  







They are soft shelled, so just rip into them and squeeze em!

They are so ugly, but so good!

Friday night, they held a Memorial Rodeo in the honor of Chris LeDoux.  Chris and Peggy LeDoux's daughter, Cindy, did barrel racing.  Casey LeDoux, who is 4 years old also ran the barrels.  Actually, Cindy ran, and Casey rode. Beau LeDoux, the youngest son, did bronco riding. Beau stayed on the entire ride.  Awesome!

Lake Placid, New York

Image
We travelled from Niagra Falls to Lake Placid, New York.  It was not in our itinerary, but then again, we do not really have one.  We were heading towards Maine and saw that Lake Placid was just a little way off our path.  So....side trip! We stayed at the Lake House overlooking Mirror Lake. Our room was rustic with a beautiful view. We toured the town and ate at a brewery. Again, we walked over 2 miles.  The next day we toured the Olympic Center.  The 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid. On the way out of town to Trapp Family Lodge, we went to the Olympic Ski area and took the tram to the top.  I do not like heights.  Freaked me out.  Mike loved it. Not loving it!!!
