Weekend wandering

As winter weather is showing signs relinquishing it's hold on me Carol and I ventured out for a 2 hour ride to the Owls Head Transportation Museum for their Midcoast Model Festival. My brother-in law Jim displayed a few of his remote controlled (RC) planes each hand built as did many other enthusiasts.

Other exhibits included ships, other watercraft and several other modes of travel. All this in a setting of restored antique automobiles and aircraft. The museum itself resides in a hanger type building next to a tarmac, runway and supporting buildings where they hold a number of events each year of which we've attended several. I'm starting to think it might be time to get a membership. The return trip included a couple of stops to Maine mainstays that we had never visited before. First Moody's Diner where I had a shrimp roll with fries and coleslaw, Carol had the fish sandwich. Afterwards we stopped at "Big Al's" which is a big bargain outlet store a large assortment of household, tools, knickknacks, and a bunch of other items. We left which a few little treasures for ourselves.
