Yesterday we drove from Mass. To Phippsburg, Maine. We found this campground in Maine that is a member of Passport America. It’s a club you join for about $50 per year, and you can get a site for half off. A lot of these campgrounds have restrictions like no discount on weekends, or maybe it’s only good for one or 2 nights. This campground didn’t have any restrictions like that so we were able to stay for a week for around $140 rather than $280.
The drive yesterday took about 5 hours. We are still trying to find what works best for us. Nan doesn’t like driving that long in one day. She would rather drive about 3 hours. But on the other hand, Nan would rather get to a place and stay for about a week rather than doing short trips each day. So if we could get those 2 people to agree on how to travel I think things would go a little smoother. Actually, now that we are here for a week and eating lobster she is in good spirits. When Momma is happy, everybody is happy.
The campground cooks a lobster dinner for you if you want. The lobster is $5.99 per pound. You can also get sides like potato, corn, clams, butter, for a little extra. We had a couple lobsters each for dinner last night. Today we went to where the campground buys it’s lobster. We paid $3.75/lb. We bought 8 lobster and brought them back to the trailer to cook ourselves. We have plenty of meat left over, so I’ll make either a lobster salad or spicy lobster salad tomorrow. It was kind of funny - We went to Wal Mart to buy some things and they had live lobster for close to $10.00/lb.
It seems like when we spend a couple days driving, when we get to our destination we spend the next day just hanging around the trailer, getting things organized, doing laundry, and relaxing. In the week we are in Maine we plan on doing more than just hanging around the campground and eating lobster, but so far that has been the highlight.
