I shot this photo at our campground in Lansing, Michigan, just over a week ago.

Today after breakfast we drove over to Bath, Maine, just about 15 miles northeast of our Durham, Maine KOA campsite. It was a lovely drive, and we found the Bath Maritime Museum easily. It was a fine collection of maritime exhibits: ships to tour, ship photos and paintings, boats being built (and we got to walk all around the workshop where the guys were working!), ships to tour, a demonstration of a boat launching, films of maritime things, stories of people involved in the various maritime adventures... Good fun! We stayed there much of the day.

Next was lobster time for Jack. Upon a recommendation of the woman in the gift shop, we found J.R. Maxwell's downtown. Jack ordered the single huge whole lobster, steamed clams, a salad, and baked potato. I got the fried scallops and haddock, baked beans, and rice pilaf. We each enjoyed a cup of clam chowder first.

Oh my! Was this ever GOOD?! We both thought that the clam chowder was the best we'd ever had. And I also found the scallops to be the best I'd ever had -- by a mile. The haddock was wonderful, too -- really light, perfectly cooked. Super food, great service, and even good atmosphere. We loved this place!
