Orchard Beach, Maine Didn't Disappoint
The drive from Lake George, NY to Orchard Beach, ME was a long one. So I thought, since we were so close to the ocean we would find a close beach and go for a walk. It was a nice night, and well luck would have it, it became a great night.
The kids running around at the beach. As soon as we arrived they ran out to the beach, tore off their shoes and walked through the waves.
This was our first stop at the Atlantic ocean and the kids couldn't wait to jump in.
It is cold but I didn't matter.The sunset produced great colors and no we didn't actually get to watch the sun go down but we did stick around just long enough to see an orange light pop out from the horizon. Upon seeing the light, Gigi asked "What is that orange light?" and that is when I remembered we were in store for a full moon tonight. Not just a full moon but a full harvest moon rise. Wow! Just wow!

As hard as I tried I couldn't get the camera to focus. It would either choose the ocean or the moon and sometimes neither.
It was a fun, "Welcome to Maine" night and very cool to see a Harvest moon rise. It was quite stunning and a great start to about three weeks in Maine.
