The Sunday after the fourth of July, Dave, Maggie, Stacy, Rob, and I drove out to Portland, Maine for a vacation. This is a picture of the house we stayed in. We rented the ground floor apartment for the week. It was a lot more fun (and actually cheaper) than staying in a hotel would have been.

The house was gorgeous. It had an incredible view of the water and was beautifully decorated. On a tour we took around the city the driver stopped in front of our house (not realizing that we were staying there) and told us that two years ago the house sold for 2.3 million dollars. Crazy.

It worked out perfectly for us. It had two master bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. It also had a full kitchen with anything you could possibly need, a washer and dryer, and the best front porch.

The front porch was my favorite part. I think it was Stacy’s too. She spent a good chunk of time out there rocking and reading.

Here’s a picture Rob took of the view.

I wasn’t kidding when I said it was incredible.
