Lobsters, Lighthouses and Lots of Cars

I'm slowly but surely catching up on blog posts (who am I kidding, I'll never catch up) with this lovely summer weekend in Owls Head. We headed along Maine's famous coastal route 1 in early August, to check out the Transportation Museum's Wing's and Wheels Exhibit. As we headed down the coast, we stopped in Belfast when we saw a sign for a Farmer's Market, conveniently around lunch time. The highlight of the market was the wild Maine blueberry crepe with blueberry icecream!

Our next stop was the cute, little Owls Head Lighthouse overlooking Penobscot Bay. Although it was August, it was the kind of day you picture when you think of coastal Maine, a little foggy with a cool breeze. 

We arrived at the Owl's Head Transportation Museum and Chris was like a kid in a candy shop. Not only were there lots of cars, but there were planes, motorcycles and even a gypsy wagon. 

The cars and planes were cool, but the 1850 Dunton Reading Gypsy Wagon was my favorite, I mean, I pretty much live in one myself... Look how cute it is! Supposedly there are not many of these beautiful homes on wheels because families would burn the wagon if the man of the family died, so no other man could own it, hence the rarity of seeing one!

After we got our fill of planes, trains and automobiles, we headed back up the coast to Rockland for the Maine Lobster Festival. 

It was great having some lobstah and chowdah by the bay after checking out some sweet cars and a lighthouse! Another wicked awesome weekend in Maine!
