Where To Eat in Camden/Rockport/Rockland

Entertained while waiting in line at Claws

Lobster Roll at Claws
 Claws - Claws is a little seafood shack in Rocklan. It's known for it's lobster and trust me when I say, order the lobster. My husband ordered something else and was disappointed. I ordered the lobster roll and it was delicious especially with a Maine Blueberry beer to go with it. Claws is only open in the summer months so if you are there in spring or fall be sure to check their website to see if they're open.

Boynton-McKay  - If you are looking for breakfast in Camden --GO HERE--! Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting too much from the exterior looks of the restaurant but this was such a delicious breakfast! Their pancakes are amazing, coffee (lattes) amazing, service amazing. I will go here again.

Bagel Cafe - We stopped at the bagel cafe for a quick bite to eat before our lobster boat tour. They have delicious bagel sandwiches and ok coffee. It was the perfect breakfast to satisfy the adults and kids.

LaBella Vita - I really wanted to like this place because we were too exhausted from our travels to drive to a restaurant and this one was conveniently located inside our hotel, the Samoset Resort. The views on the patio were beautiful, the food was average and the service was the worst I had experienced in a while. We sat at a table and waited for over 20 minutes for a waiter or waitress to acknowledge us. We saw another empty table and moved there thinking we would have better luck, still nothing. I flagged down a waitress and she said, "can't you see we're busy?" I should've left but where else were we going to eat. I finally got help after speaking to someone else but there was no apology and the kids were completely over it. They had been patient enough. I wish I could but I just can't recommend this place.

Victoria Family Travels

Victoria, BC How to Get There: There are a number of ways to get to Victoria and if you plan it right, it's a fun family adventure all on it's own. We like to combine it with a trip to Seattle for a few reasons: Seattle is a fun place for a family vaca, you can find great deals on flights and we are lucky enough to have wonderful family to visit.  It seems also relatively easy to get to Victoria from Vancouver but that's a trip I need to plan for the future.   Playing games on the Clipper. View of Seattle as we take off on the Clipper  The fastest and easiest way to get from Seattle to Victoria is via the Victoria Clipper . The Clipper departs Seattle right near downtown so it's easy to uber or catch a ride to the dock when staying in Seattle. It then takes you right into Victoria where everything is walkable. So no need to worry about a car. If you find you want a car, you can rent one right in Victoria. The Clipper is about a 2.5 hour boat ride whic

Great Luggage Options for Family Trips

Image
Luggage for Family Travel Away, Large Carry-On I had always thought there was luggage and there was slightly better luggage but really as long as the suitecase rolled and adequately carried my stuff, it was good enough. I had used the "Travel Pro" brand of luggage for years. It had received decent reviews and I saw a lot of flight attendants using it (however, not pilots as my husband never owned Travel Pro, that's whole different story) so I assumed it must be good. I would agree, it was good. It lasted through quite a few vacations without any issues. Then I stumbled upon  Away . This came up as one of those random ads on Facebook and/or Instagram due to all of the travel research I do (you know those Internet stalkers know how to get ya). This made me aware of the brand but then I started seeing more articles about it, I began to notice people at the airport with them and decided to do more research.  When I read Away offers a lifetime warranty on the wheels
