Sunday, July 26, 2009 Tour Bangor

Today we went on a tour of Bangor, it was cloudy and began to rain before our tour was finished so we did not get a chance to see Mt. Hope Cemetery.

This is the building where Miss Dawn works.

Sunday, July 26, 2009 We had a visitor

Today was an exciting day. Juliette Gordon Low the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA came to visit us. She told us her father nicknamed her Daisy and we could call her Daisy too. Miss Daisy founded the Girl Scout movement on March 12, 1912, that was 97 years ago. Miss Daisy told us she sold her pearls in order to fund her mission and as a special gift she brought pearls for us too. She also brought three buttons from an old Girl Scout uniform for each of us to take home. Unfortunatelly she does not remember the date of the uniform. We took turns sitting on her lap and told her our most favorite camp story. It was a great day!

Site Seeing Saturday, July 25, 2009

We climbed into our travel bag and are ready to go siteseeing.

First we stopped at Jamie's Miniatures to purchase a flower for our bead vase, we were hungry so Miss Sue told us we each could get a whoopie pie too.

We saved some whopie pies for later.

At a church yard sale we bought this desk for Little Owen for only $4.50, it's in great shape, it just needs to be washed. We are taking it to him this weekend.

At the flea market we each bought a sheep to put on our curio shelf at home.

July 25, 2009 Lucy's Doll House, Camden, Maine

Lucy's Dollhouse shop in Camden was exciting. We were allowed to have our pictures taken with some of the displays. We loved this big green and yellow house and enjoyed resting in the blue kitchen. There are hundreds of antique dolls in this shop and many miniatures. We spent over an hour looking at things in the shop, everything is beautiful!


Miss Sue really wanted to take this sweetie home with her.

Having our photo taking in the lighthouse was exciting as today was our Lighthouse tour day. We will see three real lighthouses. We thought Miss Sue should take this one home with her and call next year's camp The Hitty Vacation in Maine Lighthouse Adventures! She thought the B & B and Camp Golden Oak was enough.

This was a neat item to see, the horse was friendly.

We wondered which one was the 'real' Santa when Miss Sue told us that Santa has many helpers and these were a few of them.



This house was the first one we saw when we walked through the door, it was beautiful, we loved it's many porches.

There were so many, houses, dolls and miniatures, we wanted to take pictures of everything.

The houses were antique and showed great craftsmanship. It is a dream to own one.

This kitchen was lovely but our favorite was the white and blue kitchen where we enjoyed resting in.

Miss Sue wanted to take this doll home with her but decided to buy another doll the same size, a new Ginny and a Hitty doll for Hitty Theresa instead. She said she hopes it will still be there when she goes next year.

We loved this shop!
