After some preparations for Hurricane Irene, our tiny family of royals escaped northward to the coast for some school shopping, park crawling and of course, a walk along the Maine coastline to investigate the increasing winds, waves, tides and horror that we're bracing for in the next 24 hours. While the beaches and general area, typically CRAWLING with summer renters had become a vast ghost town, the eery mood was quite captivating so we hung around and took complete advantage. This is one of our favorite spots to bring the kids. Sadly though, we've been so busy that we've not been since September 2008!http://kingdomandcastle.blogspot.com/2008/09/adventures-on-north-shore.html :(
But, we finally made our way back (SANS strollers) and it was another adventure to pack into the memory books! :)
Taking a quick 'pit stop' along the cliffwalk, (http://marginalwayfund.org/ ) Marginal Way in Maine...
The wind is kicking up, the skies are darkening, but it actually looks quite beautiful....
"OK, Hurricane Irene...we're ready for you...." (said out loud...right on the easternmost coastal point, in the undertow, staring down the forthcoming storm). All we can say at this point is that she doesn't look like much from here. We'll have to see what tomorrow brings! :)
Waves are looking a bit more trecherous....
