Shawnee Peak
We climed Shawnee Peak on my birthday. It was 2.5 miles up to the top, where there is a fire-watch tower. It's a 1500 ft. accent total. It started out as kind of a trainwrek; we couldn't find the entrance to the trail. When we did, we ended up on the wrong trail, a logging road that was nothing but shredded trees and mosquitos (of course, we forgot the mosquito spray).
We almost gave up, but found the right trail and up we went. Boy are we glad we didn't quit! We were rewarded with a challanging climb up a granite watershed, and a spectacular view at the top. Mt. Washington could be seen looming over the White Moutain range at the top.

Ella's First Steps!!!
We finally had a nice overnight trip on the sailboat to Harpswell, Maine. That's about 15 miles NE of Portland. We had favorable winds, so it was about a 3 hour sail. We really enjoyed the trip, there is a nice marina/restaraunt and the views are spectacular.
Ella woke us up on Sunday morning at 6am, and it was bright and sunny. We went back to bed and by 8am we were completely fog-bound. We ended up motoring back, depending on our GPS to get us home safely. The return trip took about 2 hours.
