Portland Shopping and LightHouses

I think this is Portland on the other side of the draw bridge...I used to be so good with walking on the breakers/ jettys until this knee starting acting up this year. I was afraid to cross some of the granite blocks :( and the cobble stones in Portland....let's just say I undid a month's worth of p/t walking to the stadium first night we were there.


This is part of the fort connected to the lighthouse




This was connected to one of the parks- there was another fort there but it was too crowded and we wanted to get to Salem before 1PM so we skipped the fort.

Just the lighthouse :

You can see why the boats need lighthouses-

Unlike her brother, DD is easily amused and not going through video game withdraw....



Ever since Johnny Depp was a pirate DD has a thing for pirates...this dude was in front of a store in Portland....



Can you imagine my poor husband going in here with our 18 y/o daughter and 15 y/o son???? LOL



In the LL Bean store they had quilts. I hate those kind of "cheap" quilts that people buy, mass produced out of the country. I didn't get a pic of the front which were pretty much lasagna quilts made with jelly rolls but look at the quilting on it.....


I'm thinking I want to attempt this on my ocean waves quilt. I have a blue/green varigated thread from Connecting threads to use.....

Tomorrow is Salem, MA
