Maine!

My type-A personality could take it no longer and, as our vacation days are winding down and seeming more precious, I insisted last night that we figure out a plan for the rest of our trip.  Not having a plan is fine at the beginning of vacation, but Monday is coming! 

It's then that we decided to make one more impulsive move and drive today to our easternmost state - the Pine Tree State - Maine!  We saw commercial fisheries and lumber operations, shipyards and lots of forested areas.  Did you know?  It's the least densely populated state in the USA, east of the Mississippi, and there are pine trees everywhere!
David's Restaurant in Portland - thank you Yelp (you were spot on)!
1-1/4 lb. lobster - this delicious creature was cruising the Atlantic only shortly before this
