Couch Potato Nell: July 2008

Whale Watching & Lobster Bake

Early Saturday morning, we headed out for the whale watching tour. It was cloudy and cold. But we weathered the cold and bundled up.

Here's the light house we saw on the way to the whale park.

Birds that got really close to our boat.

I have videos of the whales... but I can't figure out how to get it on here.... We saw several whales coming up for air. It was amazing!

Coming back into Bar Harbor...

Margaret Todd... I wanted to go on this for sunset cruise... but we couldn't fit it into our schedule.

After the whale watching tour, we grabbed lunch at Rupununi Restaurant. SO had lobster roll and I had the crab quesadillas. Very good lunch. After we walked around Bar Harbor and shopped, we returned to the hotel to let Nell enjoy some fresh air.

Then came time for the lobster bake. Not only did we have lobster, we enjoyed some mussels. OMG... I'd go back in a heart beat!

Freshly steamed!

After the lobster bake, we all decided to go back to Jack Russell's for after dinner drinks.

Here's Butch. Butch's owner has a new book coming out soon.It's called My Buddy Butch.

Here's my favorite BT from the Woofboard. Seamus... look at the pouty lip!!!!

Woof!Fest 2008 Friday night dinner with the pups

We all got together for the first gathering. Dinner at Jack Russell's. Their food was DELISH! I had their filet and SO had the crab cakes. I tried SO's crab cakes... OMG! They were out of this world! Nell managed to snarl at almost all the dogs, but hey, she didn't bite.

Here's beefy! You can see the brindle Memmy in the back!

Here's Pepito... the emperor!

Here's Nell, dressed in her Tar Heel sweater. It was little nippy out!

And Nell... contemplating...
I wish I had more pics of the gatherings, but we were having way too much laughing and eating.

Woof!Fest 2008

Nell, SO, and I headed up to Bar Harbor, ME for the Woof!Fest 2008 (gathering of Boston Terrier lovers) for the weekend. It was awesome to meet other boston terrier owners. I know... some of you will think I'm crazy for taking a trip up to Maine to meet people from the web, but when else can I enjoy lobster bake and whale watching? When opportunities knock, I go.

To save some money, we flew into Portland, ME instead of Bangore, ME. Once we landed, I made my SO take me to the Portland Lobster Co. for lunch. Mmmm... lobster roll.
