Its a long way to Boothbay

The first stop on the way to Boothbay Harbor was the L.L.Bean flagship store campus in Freeport.
There was major construction on their main building, but it was still a very interesting place to experience. They definitely have their market style.

The most famous, and claiming to be the best, lobster roll is allegedly from a tiny little building on a corner in the town of Wiscasset. There was no way we could NOT go to Red’s Eats to try it ourselves. They open at 11:30 and we timed everything to be there at that time.

When we arrived, the line was already to the corner and it took an hour-and-a-half for us to get to the front to order. At some point you begin to doubt if it is really going to be good enough to warrant the never-ending waiting.

O.M.G. IT WAS!

We have never eaten so much lobster – excellent lobster – in one meal. Of course with pints of the best melted butter.

Finally made it to our destination for the evening: Booth Bay Harbor.

After checking in to the Tug Boat Inn, we walked through the picturesque town before dinner.
