We all have our favorite places to visit when we go to Maine and one that everyone agrees upon is Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. It is a perfect example of the rocky Maine coast. There are tidal pools, great rocks to climb on and a glorious view of the open ocean. I could spend my whole vacation at Pemaquid and not tire of watching the waves come in and out.

It seems to be a common theme of our trips...picnicking. What a great setting for this meal.

Gracie loves the water and always wants to take a dip no matter how cold the water. Of course, some of the kids are the same way. As you can see, Gabe is already quite wet.
Look at that sky and sea. They seem to mirror each other.
Gabe wanted to venture out further and further towards the surf, but the waves were very wild, so we made him stay behind the first line of rocks.
No matter how many pictures I took, I couldn't capture the wildness of the sea this day. The storm off the coast was causing the sea to churn and crash.

It was a fantastic day. I felt refreshed and recharged.

LOVE all the pics! I sure wish we lived closer to the ocean. I love the sounds and smells...
What an awesome vacation! I love all the pictures of the sea creatures. We just completed a study on moon jellies. My boys would love to hold a live sea star!
I love Pemaquid too but I've only been there a couple times. I need to get back there. Beth & I took the boys a few springs ago & had the place to ourselves. So nice.
Simply beautiful. The ocean is the best.
I'm glad that you had a fun family vacation.
