picking out my lunch, still alive.

no longer alive.  ready to be consumed

the aftermath.

the lobster pound is a unique experience, one that everyone should experience before they die.  I had lobster several times this weekend, but none was as authentic as seeing it wiggle around, meet its fate in a pot of boiling water and then dipping it in butter.  oh, divine.

incredible food, shopping, reading, naps, ocean kayaking, running, and all without children.  

next year can’t come fast enough.

that's a tradition worth keeping. what a beautiful place to run and race.
And what's that crazy Tutz talking about. Your mom looks great.

Looks beautiful to me too, but just the relaxing, shopping and eating - not the running!

I'm with Debi--and I agree with Dad, it is a relaxing beautiful place.
