It was time for our yearly vacation week in Maine. I always go to Ocean Park which is part of Old Orchard but a lot quieter. I've been going there for about forty years now. I go with my family which consists of my oldest daughter and her partner, my son and his partner and my youngest daughter and her husband and two kids. This year we rented a place right on the beach. It cost more but it was worth it. It had 5 bedrooms, a large living room, a dining room, a good kitchen and a great porch overlooking the ocean. It also had two bathrooms which was nice with the number of people. It was so nice to step out of the cottage and go down a short boardwalk and be right on the beach. The week started out a little cool and I forgot to bring a sweatshirt so I bought one. I only needed it for one day! Just about every day was a great day for the beach except one day that was very windy off the ocean. The water was cold as usual sor the first couple of days I just waded in up to my waist. Heather, Brian and Erica went in all the way every day.
Sunday we decided to go the the Clambake for dinner. I decided on steamers and they we very good. We also went to Ken's place, always a favorite for all of us. I decided to get fried whole belly clam and they were delicious!
Every night we play Uno. It's a big competition to see who will bring home the Uno trophy. It gets pretty headed with the take four cards etc. By the end of the week I came in last as usual. Greg came in first with Erin not far behind. So Greg gets the trophy and the bragging rights this year.
