Maine has so many state parks, we truly are fortunate! What's even better is that they are, for the most part, extremely well kept and equipped. Yesterday we went out to enjoy the sunshine with some of our friends. We all packed up and headed out to Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth.
There is one of Maine's most beautiful coast lines and beach there, as well as hiking trails a gorgeous little pond and a killer playground! The girls had a blast playing with their friends, especially because now school is out and we need to work hard to see them through the summer.
We made our way around one of the hiking trails twice, threw sticks in the pond, played numerous rounds of "What time is it Mr. Fox?", played on the slide and swings, had a snack, and we even got to bring the new puppy! We spent almost 3 hours there and that was only because we had other plans for the day (like work, boo). We could have happily stayed all day! We never even made it as far as the beach (dogs not allowed there). The best part is that and adult ticket is $3 and kids under 5 are free. So we had this glorious morning with friends for $6, tax deductible. The State Park pass makes this adventure even more economical and allows for far more frequent visits.
Local outdoor fun, I don't think you can beat it!
