Shhh!  I’m trying to stay out of Tami’s way.    She’s stomping around the house, muttering all crazy-like about how much snow we have and how the camping season will never begin on time if we keep getting these two foot storms.  This is what the Wight’s are looking at out their front door today:

She is NOT a happy camper, let me tell you.

And David, he’s not much better.  He says he’s tired of doing this

And wants to be doing this

in the park off the Eastern Promenade by Casco Bay in Portland.  There’s a nice little beach there, and the view of ships coming and going is really relaxing.

Fort Gorges sits in the middle of bay.

After that, they drove down to the Old Port to do a little shopping in all the quaint shops along the harbor’s edge before eating at DiMillio’s Floating Restaurant.

Also in the Old Port are many harbor/sea cruises.  Take a whale or seal watch; tour Casco Bay’s rich history on land and sea with Downeat Duck Adventures, or take a ferry ride to investigate one of the many interesting  islands.

Only a few blocks away is  The Children’s Museum of Maine, and  the Portland Museum of Art . . .

There’s just so much to do in Portland, there’s no way to describe it all in one short blog post!

Oh-oh.  Tami looked over my shoulder at all these sunshiny summer photos and now she’s hugging her flip flops and crying . . .  Poor thing!

But I have to say, not all the Wight’s are grumpy about having another snow day
