Hills
Beach House
This is
the set of pictures taken in or around the house that we stayed at.
Look for
some great sunrise pictures which I would never have gotten without
Jackie being an early bird! For more

Basket
Island
This is the island directly across from the Hills Beach House. It
has maybe 10 cottages on it, but you are not allowed to go up on the
main land, so we trekked around it.
Not
a whole lot about Basket Island on the Internet, but there's a little
here:

Stage
Island
This island
is right across from Basket Island and you can only reach it if the
tide is out. It is uninhabited and houses the "Stage
Island Monument"
Also, not
a whole bunch about Stage Island on the net, but there's
some on the Maine
Audubon Society page and also on Pete's
Hills Beach Photo Gallery

Doubling
Point Lighthouse
This is
one "out of the way" lighthouse up in on Arrowsic
Island near Bath, Maine. I like to call this one "Stubby' for
obvious reasons. Its nice, but tricky to get to...

"Nubble"
Lighthouse
Also known
as the Cape Neddick Lighthouse, this is one of the most photographed
lighthouses in Maine. Look for Leon's take of
the
"Costanza"
here which got some funny looks from the other tourists

Portland
Head Light
This is the other most
popular lighthouse in Maine. This also happens to be my favorite place
in Maine - not so much for the lighthouse itself
(which is nice), but the rocky coast here is just perfect.

Trolley Museum
This
is on the Kennebunkport/Arundel border and is way cool!!!!! You
get to ride on a trolley which is nice, but the real fun begins
when you go off exploring on your own. They have so many old-time
trolleys, buses & trains (including two double-deckers!) that
they let you go on. They also are restoring a few of them and it
is cool to see the process.

Set
sail out with Cap'n Rich on this of Kennebunkport on this classic
ship! Very nice trip and we didn't even get seasick!
Hint:
If you plan to go, make sure to call, since they are very dependent
on tides!
