Go into Camden and have dinner at the Bayside on the recommendation of the park ranger we registered with.

Last official day of the trip since we&#8217;ve decided we&#8217;ve probably seen enough beautiful ocean vistas for one trip.<\/p>\n<p>We went into Camden and had breakfast on a deck overlooking the harbor. Awesome raspberry pancakes.<\/p>\n<p>We did a loop down 32 to Pemaquid stopping at Peapod Jewelry outside Round Pond to look peapod jewelry. Lovely stuff but not things I could afford on this trip. I would love to get her lighthouse when I have the money. I highly recommend 32 &#8212; it was an incredibly beautiful road.<\/p>\n<p>We caught 130 north to get back to Maine 1 to go to the Cold River Vodka Distillery in Freeport and then had a lobster lunch outdoors on a picnic table at Day&#8217;s in Yarmouth. Day&#8217;s is a fish market that has a little roadside stand where you order food and eat outside. It was an awesome lunch.<\/p>\n<p>All in all an absolutely perfect last day.<\/p>\n<p>Time to get home so we hopped on the highway and made it to Danbury, CT that night.<\/p>\n<p>9\/1 We ride through New York and the\u00a0 traffic is terrible. I don&#8217;t think I have ever seen so many semi tractor trailers in my entire life. We stop for the night in Staunton, Virginia. 461 miles<\/p>\n<p>9\/2 Staunton to Dickson, TN 556 miles<\/p>\n<p>9\/3 Through Tennessee, into Arkansasm and then home around 8:00 PM. 657 miles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8\/29 Another rain day due to hurricane Danny so we worked on replacing some lost items and went into Bar Harbor for lunch.
