After being rained out and cancelling due to sickness, we have finally completed our first camping trip of the season. We went back to the best camp ground in the world and stayed at our most favorite site in said campground.

We did a few short hikes (One at
Hamilton Cove Preserve) and went to Eastport to have treat at Dastardly Dick's Wicked Good Coffee (more about
Dastardly Dick's) and also some more treats from Moose Island Bakery. We discovered both of these places last year on a camping trip when we needed something to do on a rainy day. We got a perfect iced mocha frappe at Dastardly Dick's and many yummy things at the
Moose Island Bakery- our most favorite were the Cream Cheese Muffins, which lie on the line between muffin and cupcake in taste and texture and are filled with cream cheese frosting. Something else interesting about Eastport while we were there is that it was PACKED full of people...and sailors. Apparently Eastport goes all out for the 4th of July week ( according to the website they have the biggest 4th of July celebration in Maine)
Along with food and activities, the U.S.S. San Jancinto was docked in the harbor. We had never been to Eastport when there were so many people, and dressed and smelling as we did ( campfire smoke, unusually hot and humid weather and a short hike make for an interesting odor...) We chose not to tour the boat.

Back at our campsite we relaxed, enjoyed the view, and then relaxed some more. Being the first outing of the season, we both used it as a time to recharge our batteries, and other than fighting off swarms of mosquito's and no-see-ums, recharge is just what we did.
