We said goodbye to the Bar Harbor KOA this morning and headed west, then south, down to Old Orchard Beach, Maine. We made our way over to 95 South around Bangor, which looked like a nice little city.
Unlike Route 1, 95 is pretty boring because you don't pass through little towns or along the coast. But the benefit and reason we chose 95 was to get to our day's final destination in Old Orchard Beach around lunchtime.
Aside from some construction, it was a non-eventful drive. We stopped at a grocery store for a few things and then went next door to a sub shop to pick up lunch. Twenty minutes later, we were at the campground, and a huge campground it is. The last one we were at might have had 80 campsites. This one has hundreds, plus three pools and three or four hot tubs. They have activities scheduled throughout the day, from t-shirt painting to jewelry making to karaoke. And as if that wasn't enough, there's also mini golf, bike and kayak rentals and a trolley that takes you to the beach, about a half mile away.
The kids are pretty excited about being here - they missed having a swimming pool. After setting up, we all went down to the pool for a swim. The pool is heated, but it's not that warm. Refreshing would be the positive spin on it.
For dinner, I threw some burgers on the grill and made a shrimp boil with local corn. For once, we made it through a day without ice cream.
Tomorrow we think we'll venture to the beach in the morning to see what it's like, and then spend the afternoon back at the campground relaxing.
