A Trip to Chebeague Island

         This summer, June 2012, we went to Chebeague, a small island off the coast of Maine, close to Portland.  It took us four hours to drive up there, and we took a ferry across to get the island’s port.  We stayed for a week.  There were a lot of nice beaches there that we spent hours at every day, and we both collected pieces of broken China and sea glass.
         Here are some pictures we think you’ll enjoy from your vacation:

 

          The pier jump.  About 30 feet at middle tide – you climb onto the railing and up onto the small house...and then jump!   

 

One of the restaurants on the island that we ate at for dinner.  (Maddie) thought that the table setting with the landscape behind it made a great picture.  Across the water you can see the mainland.

This photo of a China collection was taken in the afternoon, when the sun highlighted the sea shell and made the China pieces look white.  The next picture is an example of the beautiful designs that some of the China pieces had.

            The famous “Buoy- house.”  Covered in over a hundred buoys, probably collected from the ocean and local beaches.
