Craner Maine Vacation 2009

*Click on any image for a larger picture*

I finally was able to share my favorite place in the world with Dan and the crew. Moody Beach Maine. All expectations were exceded. We stayed at my parents' cottage on the beach, the Dorothy Adelaide, and rented a 15 passenger van to tour New England.
We visited the New England Aquarium, Quincy Market Place, Salem, Massachussetts and the scary places there, Canobie Lake Park in Salem, MA and a ton of places in Maine. A few of the places we went to were Nubble Light House, Portland Head Light House, Flo's hot dog stand ( YUM!), Kennebunkport where George Bush Senior has a home, Route One outlet stores ( Alicia and Parker bought clothing for Nellie:), and so much more!
Moody Beach was fantastic. Ashlee and Matt were up every morning to watch the sun rise with Dan and I. They were astonished at the beauty of the beach and the ocean. Between Ashlee, Alicia, Whitney, and I we must have taken close to 3,000 pictures! Max is giving report on his Maine vacation at school tomorrow. I wish I could be there!
On Friday, October 23rd, Dan proposed to me at sunrise on Moody Beach. It was absolutley perfect and so beautiful! The crew was looking on from the windows of the cottage and took pictures:) Thanks everyone for the great pictures!

Staind and Aaron Lewis

Dan and I saw Staind and Creed last Friday night at the E-Center. We expected a lot from Creed and were really disappointed. We walked out after the second song. It could be that Aaron Lewis and Staind were so fantastic that nothing could compare to their performance. They had an awesome light show. Here are a few videos from the concert. Aaron is sporting a few new tattoos. I like the one around his neck which says "Don't tread on me."
