Impromptu Vacation - Ogunquit, ME: Day 2

Remember our outrageous 6 mile walk from the night before? When I woke up, I couldn't walk! I was basically hobbling around for the rest of the weekend. The running joke now is that Jake broke my foot.

Aside from having to gimp around, I woke up in time to see the sunrise. The plan for this day was to hit up the outlets. We figured that it would be less crowded than on Saturday or Sunday. We highly recommend this. We had to go back to the outlets to make an exchange on Sunday, and it was a complete and utter zoo.

Getting to the outlet was an adventure in and of itself. We took the scenic route to Kittery. It's literally just up the road on Route 1, but we ended up passing the outlets 2X before finally finding them. We have a GPS (we call him Jeeves). Jeeves is kind of old, he doesn't know the difference between a hard right and soft right, is a bit slow at times, and sometimes he just gets plain confused. The trick to using Jeeves is to be one step ahead of him, i.e. look at the map and see what's coming up before he announces it as you go past the turn. When Jake is in the car with me, I rely on him to do so. Sometimes things just don't happen the way we plan.

Once we found the outlets, it was game over. We spent the afternoon in JCrew, Calvin Klein, Crate and Barrel, Nike, and Aldo. Thank goodness the shops are all spread out and not really in walking distance. I had to gimp around the stores as it was. Once we exhausted our wallets, we headed back to Ogunquit. We were both starving, so I figured we'd stop by Stonewall Kitchen Cafe for a lobster (lobstah) roll . Stonewall's deli had other ideas; it closed at 3 and we showed up well after. A new plan was hatched: lobster rolls at the Lobster Shack in Perkin's Cove.We wrapped up dinner by taking a short walk (hobble) around Perkin's Cove before heading back to the Inn to hang out.
