During sail away we had the most beautiful sunset.
A few weeks before our trip I had read about this donut shop that makes their donuts from mashed potatoes. That immediately grabbed my attention. I am a potato queen. I love all forms of potatoes! I HAD to visit this place! Holy Donut was a short walk from where Discovery Tours docks their boat. So a short walk (5 minutes would be exaggerating) and we were there! I bought two old fashioned and on dark chocolate sea salt. They were phenomenal. I don’t know how to describe it other than yummy!!! The entire family indulged. I wish there were a way to get them shipped to my house in Florida. We headed back to the ship to warm up and as luck would have it the air started to clear. It became a beautiful day! We hung out in our room, napped, and my son cleaned the balcony with the sanitizing wipes I had brought along. Don’t ask. He loves to wipe and clean. I won’t be discouraging that trait! During sail away we had the most beautiful sunset. We have no photographic evidence of our evening. Which tells me we didnt do much of anything. I know we dropped our son off at the nursery again just to get a little adult time. I think we went to the Pub again. Then saw Lee Daniels: The Butler in the Movie theater in the ship. The next day was the last day of the cruise: Portland, Maine.
We booked in advance with Portland Discovery Tours, Land & Sea. Part one was a trolley tour of the city and Portland Headlight. Part two was an hour, maybe 90 minute, long cruise visiting some of the other lighthouses. Overall it was a bit too much for us. The trolley tour was nice because it was warm and I loved to hear about the history of Portland and I appreciated the opportunity to see the beautiful homes. We lucked out and got the back section of the trolley with panoramic windows and a bench. This worked nicely for my son. The cruise I could have done without. It was too long for us. This also happened to be the coldest day of the trip. Low 40s for most of the morning. The sun didn't show up until later in the afternoon. I'm going to post a large group of photos from the trolley tour and harbor cruise. There are photos of the inside of the boat we were on, some of the lighthouses, forts, and beautiful homes! |
