The end of our stay in Rockland

Right now we are heading down rt. 95 back to Boston for a few days. We had such a great time over the past few weeks in Rockland, and we'll miss everyone at Primo.

Yesterday we spent the day at Old Orchard Beach. We got caught some rays, swam in the ocean, rode on some fun rides, and walked into some cool shops. The night before we had dinner at Bresca in Portland on recommendation from a couple Primo employees, and it was excellent (for more detail, check out my food blog). Last night we stayed in Biddeford again and saw another movie (Hellboy 2) at Smitty's Theater, which is just about the coolest movie theater ever.

Once again we quietly stayed at the Walmart in Biddeford overnight, and Lily and I are both annoyed at how many other campers use Walmart parking lots as their own personal campgrounds. Walmart is very generous to allow RVers to stay overnight in their lots free of charge, but visitors are expected to be quiet and only stay for a short time. Last night there were about 20 RVs staying at Walmart. Some of them were running their obscenely loud generators. Some people were outside in the parking lot playing music and drinking beer. This morning before we left, the parents of a few families traveling together decided it was okay to let all of their kids run around and play in the parking lot. On our way out, we saw a few trailers unhitched with their pick-up trucks or SUVs gone, probably out on a day trip. It's horrible how disrespectful these people are. And to top it off, most of the RVs are big and expensive, so why can't these people just pay the $40 for a spot at a campground and do whatever they want?

After our few days in Boston, we're off to see Aaron, Diana, and Seth in New York for a few days. Then we're headed to D.C. to visit Matt and Allison, and then we're off to Atlanta for a couple weeks.
