Sept. 21 Today we loaded up in cars and went to Camden, ME. It's another quaint, beautiful coastal town. On the way to Camden, we drove through Thomaston and went in the Maine State Prison Showroom. (No, it wasn't to visit any of our wayward relatives.) The actual prison was closed and relocated, but the program of training prisoners in the areas of agriculture and woodworking still remains active. The showroom had handcrafted products including furniture, bookcases, model ships, and various other items. The quality and craftsmanship of these items was amazing. This building is part of the prison where the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" was filmed.
Drove up into Camden State Park where we had an amazing view from the top of the mountain overlooking the Camden harbor. The weather has been just perfect for these outings. It's overcast but no rain.
On our way to another scenic route we stopped at a little village that had a Narrow Gauge 
Railroad. We rode the train around this area and visited the restored historical buildings of this 1847 town.

It was even more beautiful than what we've already seen. It's looked like something from a picture book. The houses are various styles from cottage to Victorian to Alpine. It was the most perfect little coastal town I've ever seen. Pictures just can't do this place justice.

Man, the pictures are beautiful. Looks like you're having fun! Keep it that way. And keep in mind, you will have to take me to some of these places one day. I love you.

We were at the same places two years ago. What a beautiful part of the Country. You two continue to have a wonderful time. You deserve it.
