Just returned from our annual Memorial Day camping trip to Hermit Island Campground in Small Point, ME, about 12 miles southeast of Bath.

This weekend, we camped in our tent, went to the beach, went swimming in the chilly Atlantic, saw some seals at nearby Popham Beach and sat by the campfire making S'mores!

Our favorite restaurant, Spinney's at Popham Beach, right on the Kennebec River!

Nothing completes a great day of camping like sitting by the campfire!

S'mores! Well, we call them S'morses! LOL

We HAD to stop in Freeport at the outlets on the ride home, right Charlotte?
