Boats and Gelato

We drove up to the Brunswick and Bath area yesterday. We were going to stop for a donut in Brunswick but the store wasn't open on the weekends. Bohdin was sad and determined to walk and find some sort of treat. We walked down a few stores and Bohdin said he found gelato. He did and we were surprised. We're guessing that this gelato place uses the same spiral symbol on the door as the gelato place in Philadelphia. We went in and were treated to some really good gelato. It was easily as good as the place in Philly. We had strawberry rhubarb, cake batter, chocolate malt, graham cracker, pineapple lime, and raspberry. It was a lot of gelato. Bohdin's favorite was the cake batter and pineapple lime. After the gelato we bought a few marbles and then headed to Bath a few miles away. Nyla fell asleep in the car and we just piddled around until she woke up. Then everybody was hungry for lunch. The restaurant we went to had a nice alcove with books, puzzles, and games to take back to your table. I've been impressed with how child friendly it seems here. We picked up a few treats from their bakery for later. Bohdin wanted the cake. Buddy chose a brownie and blueberry cheesecake square.

We headed to the Maritime museum in Bath. We started inside but should have started outside. Shipbuilding was an important part of the local economy for a long time. The museum is on the site of an old shipbuilding site. We were able to explore all of the accessory buildings where they cut the logs and mixed the paint and did all sorts of things. There was also a large sculpture showing the scale of the hull of one of the ships built on site. It was pretty cool. The outside closed before the inside and we were kicked out prior to finshing. It was an interesting place.

 

We headed south again for the night. We stayed in a hotel near the beach we had visited earlier in the week. It's a nice hotel. Buddy and Bohdin swam in the outdoor heated pool and then warmed up in the steam room afterward. Nyla didn't like the water and I didn't have a bathing suit so we stayed inside. This morning we went down to the beach and Buddy built a huge sand and rock castle. We're trying to get ready to go to Boston now so I don't have a lot of time to write. Our next hotel doesn't have free wireless so I may not update again until Tuesday evening when we return.

There is photo proof that I'm here too. I was in charge of the whiny baby.
