We got up bright and early after a refreshing sleep in our first (hotel) beds. Also we were all
feeling really content after dining last night at the Portland Lobster Co. Today we biked downtown and took a ferry to Peak's Island. There we found a rock beach full of awesome artistic rock formations and we built
some of our own. Then we explored an abandoned fort. It was dark and spooky and
the perfect place for a scary noise contest. We had a nice picnic lunch on the
island and then headed back to the city to explore. Brian and I promised the kids a "date night" since we were all wearing our clean clothes and
were freshly showered. Some of the boys took that to heart and went to a thrift
store for some crisp new threads. They looked awesome biking around in ties. We
then went to a park for live music and a juggling lesson from Ian, our friend
from Bicycle Benefits. -
