Mommy's Birthday!

This past weekend I celebrated my 35th birthday. Neither Alan or I are big on having big birthdays so we spent the day doing what makes us the happiest, spending it with Caroline and enjoying a gorgeous Maine day. Seriously, I think my biggest present was that it was the nicest day so far this summer!
After breakfast we headed to Portland and took the ferry over to Peaks Island. It was a short ride, 15 minutes. Besides exploring new areas together, we knew Caroline would love the ferry ride. It was such a clear day and you could see all of Casco Bay. Once we arrived, we walked around for a bit and explored fun things like the tiny library/police station/fire dept combo and weird things like the umbrella cover museum? You heard me, umbrella COVER museum. Caroline loved the "unique" lady running the place and was given an orange drink umbrella to take with her. Alan and I just kept a polite smile on our face and exhaled when we left the store LOL We had lunch at the Inn on Peaks Island. Sitting outside, eating and watching the people and boats go by with my two favorite people was all I needed. After lunch we walked around for a bit more and then headed back to the ferry ramp. Once we arrived back to the Old Port we took a break in the shade while Caroline chased and fed the pigeons. We headed home for a little R&R and then decided we were too full for dinner. I had made a cake, but that could wait, so we headed to Big Daddy's for some birthday ice cream!
On Sunday, we relaxed at home and got some things done around here and then had a relaxing dinner on the deck and enjoyed some birthday cake. A happy birthday indeed!

 Of course she spotted some dogs :)

 This was just funny. She meets friends everywhere now, 

but wanted Daddy to take a picture of her and her new friend :P
