I just got back this morning about 4:00 a.m. with the family, from my dad’s wedding in Boothbay, Maine. We had a fantastic time and as best man, I even managed to pull off a fairly decent toast to the happy couple. We just love my dad’s new wife, and meeting her family was great. I think everyone else had a wonderful time too.

We stayed at a really great place, the Lawnmere Inn. If the idea of a 19th century English seaside resort sounds good to you, this is your kind of place. Almost all the rooms have a beautiful water view, and there are reasonable rates for both on- and off-season. And the staff are warm, gracious, and very accommodating.
