Amazingly enough the kids were quite well behaved on the long road trip to Maine, they were pretty excited about everything they were looking forward to doing.
There were a few stops on the way there and when we exited the car Scrappy would take up a new seat, he even looked pretty cute when we came out of the store and found him behind the steering wheel.
The kids of course were quite goofy from the time we arrived, but they were a great help with setting up camp.
Campfires were nice and relaxing. Of course the kids loved toasting marshmallows (or having the adults toast them for them while they eat away) and s'mores.
Day two the kids got to play in the ocean for the very first time (Caiden's first time ever seeing it). It proved to be a huge hit regardless as to the bone chilling temperature. The expressions were awesome and excitement was completely wild. 
It was so nice to have some relaxation time with the family and to not have the distractions of home such as television, computer, etc. Instead the little gal brought a book and a few dolls. My little man brought his fishing pole where we tied a pine cone on for safe on land fishing and of course a ton of matchbox cars. He found a few friends in the camper next to us who spoke French. Even though there was the barrier of language they all seemed to understand most of what they were trying to get across. He shared his toys and they all seemed to have a great time.
Scrappy as well had his first Ocean experience a little later in the day. No dogs 10am - 5pm, he had a blast trying to eat the waves and getting knocked over by a few at the same time.
Great photos to remember our trip, cannot wait until next year for another family vacation.
