Attach of the Lobster



OK this was a GREAT Lobster Dinner! We are sitting on the Beach in Old Orchard Beach, ME. Chris had a 2lb. lobster and mine was 1 1/4lb. The frozen Mango Daiquiris were wonderful. Life doesn't get any better!
Our drive from the Catskill Mountains was long with heavy traffic. (You forget how much traffic is in the North East.) Our KOA campground is very nice. They offer a pancake breakfast every morning. The pancakes are the size of a paper plate. One order has 3 pancakes. (Chris and I shared an order.) There is a Trolley that picks up at the camp ground and for $1 each way they take you to Old Orchard Beach which is about 4 miles from the KOA.
Now I must tell you, this was not our first Lobster dinner. We arrived on Saturday so on Sunday we took the Trolley. (Word of caution, NEVER take the recommendation of a Trolley Driver for a Lobster Dinner!) We went to a place called The Clambake Restaurant. We were told it was reasonable place to eat. You order your dinner and when they call your number you pick it up. Chris ordered a dinner that included lobster meat, sea scallops, and shrimp. I had a steamed lobster. When they called our number Chris picked up the dinners served on paper plates. Chris's dinner came in a small bowl and had only 3 small pieces of lobster with shrimp and scallops. I had a very small lobster. All this for $42.
Tomorrow we head out for Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The camp grounds we are headed to is a first come first serve. We are a little nervous about this since we are headed into the 4th of July week end. It will take us about 3-4 hours to get there so we are heading out around 7am. Stay tuned for more.
