The Fourth is my favorite holiday. It's the start of summer on the coast of Maine. Suddenly, half the license plates driving through town are out of state. There were boats from everywhere heading in and out of the harbor. We took 15 of us out on a 'harbor tour'.
Dinner on the harbor below, my daughter carrying near 20 pounds of steaming hard shells as my son is getting a ribbing from my SIL.
Friends from NYC, Boston and New Orleans are all happy to be on the coast of Maine with enough of a sea breeze to make the mid 80 temps, pleasant.
