I lived in Cape Elizabeth for several years in the 80's. We lived about a mile from Ft. Williams Park. I spent so much time riding my bike down there. My neighbors had kids my age and we would play soccer at that big field close to the entrance of the park. There is a hill that we used for sledding when it snowed that went down into that field. We would play in those old ruins for hours during the Summer time. At night I would leave my bedroom window open and the sound of the fog horn lulled me to sleep. Those were absolutely the happiest years of my childhood...and arguably my life. But then we moved back to Texas. My life ceased being happy. I was a happy, well adjusted kid who excelled in baseball. Even little league coaches told my parents I had a special talent for pitching and I might be able to play college ball some day....I had many friends in Cape Elizabeth. It was such a close knit community. My best friend lived right next door to me. I was excited to wait every morning at the bus stop to go to school even when snow was several feet deep in the winter time. We didn't care. We still played football in the snow while waiting for the bus to pick us up. After my 4th grade year my parents made the decision that we just needed to move back to Dallas. That's when my happy childhood ended. I think my parents realized the mistake they made moving back to Texas. In some ways I never fully forgave them for it.

We had some lobster rolls at Bite Into Maine while at Portland Head and they were delicious! Gilberts Chowder House, The Lobster Shack and Len and Libby's fudge were our favorite eats while in Portland. BTW, we did the the Million Dollar Highway this past April. Love following your travels, brings back memories.

Glad you enjoyed maine. We got lucky this year and actually had fall this year. When you come back check out eventide or jays oysters for seafood. Highroller for a different and amazing spin on lobster rolls. There in the oldport. If you make your way down to kennebunk port which you should my favorite lobersroll is at the claimshack. There sides are incredibly good and the view is amazing. I've lived in maine for 16 years now and love calling it home.

I was going to say that shell of a mansion looked like Ha Ha Tonka. Those lobster rolls are pricey! Glad you liked them. Guess if I ever get out that way, it'll be worth the "investment" to try, and easier to eat than a whole lobster...
@AdventuresofAplusK2 жыл бұрын
They are definitely pricey (and I think that price is pretty standard from what we hear), but they are worth it to try! We are just glad we had to leave afterwards so we couldn't spend more money haha!

@maryspiering12052 жыл бұрын
@@AdventuresofAplusK we drove from Boston to Acadia National Park to hike, and stopped at several places so not quite sure about the names 😊. I do remember the Portland Lobster Company however and the lobster roll was just as good as the rest of them. Must be all that butter they drizzle over it, along with the buttered, toasted bun ! We live in the Pacific Northwest and feast on fresh crab, oysters, clams, halibut, and salmon. I didn’t think a lobster roll would even come close to a fresh crab off the Oregon coast, but after that first bite, I was hooked !

We have yet to try crab in Oregon, but we did have some crab cakes in Maryland and loved them. I am warming up to seafood, so I will be trying a lot more in the future!

You likely went past I live as you crossed the Casco Bay Bridge. I absolutely LOVE Holy Donuts!!! Most of the time I get the maple bacon. So yummy. There's so much to do, see around here. You'd of loved going on the Duck Boat which tours a bit of Portland goes across the Casco Bay Bridge into South Portland down to Bug Light and right into the Casco Bay Harbor!!! Its a short ride and you're back in the Old Port. Of course if enjoy boats the Casco Bay Ferry has a sunset cruise (I recommend the summer for the best sunsets over the water) . I love our area. Born and raised here and am staying here. Normally the lobster rolls aren't as expensive. I'd much more ,,,ask us licals,,, we'll tell you,,,, on the way out to Portland Head Light in South Portland on the corner of Sawyer and 77,, Ocean House Market BY FAR has the BEST lobster rolls. Any place I travel I seek out the locals. We are friendly and we want you to enjoy your trip. Nicely done on the video of our beautiful area.

Looks like a lot of fun checking out Portland. The Lobster rolls looked good, but I don't think I could spend $26 on one. Yikes. But I would like to try one, so.... Also the blueberry soda looked interesting, reminds me of a local beer in our area that has blueberries and honey.... its awesome, called Bumbleberry from Fat Heads. Next time you roll through Ohio you should try it! The drone shots of the coast and the lighthouse were awesome!

They are a pricey food item (that’s about the standard cost, which is higher lately due to demand), but it was super worth it! Kind of like splurging on a steak 😃 We aren’t drinkers, but that beer definitely sounds interesting!

Thank you for a fantastic series on New England! You've given me plenty of ideas for the future. I love coastal batteries, and I've had a chance to see a number in the southeast. I recommend Fort Moultrie near Charleston, SC and especially Fort Morgan in Alabama. I had Fort Morgan to myself in December a few years ago and I loved the sunset over Mobile Bay. Fort Gaines is also good. That was part of a trip to Mobile, New Orleans, and Jackson/Vicksburg, all of which have great food: Lou's Full Serv and Mayflower Cafe in Jackson, Doe's Eat Place all around Mississippi, the Noble South in Mobile, and then, well, New Orleans is New Orleans. :)

We love visiting forts! And a trip to the Gulf Coast states is definitely something we hope to do in the future, especially not being that far from Texas. We have visited New Orleans and part of Mississippi before, but not super in depth, so we appreciate all of the tips for when we do make it there!
@jameswaldecker12362 жыл бұрын
Same here on the forts! I think my favorite fort is still Fort Beausejour in New Brunswick (where the French lost New Brunswick in 1755) because it's so obscure, well-preserved, and has a nice view of the surroundings. Nobody was there, leaving me to explore the French casements in peace. I'm really looking forward to when you hit the Gulf Coast since there's a lot of great food there, and I've come to realize something very subtle after having watched about 200 of your videos: Adam really knows food! I finally watched your Hawaii and Italy videos and it shows up a lot there (e.g., poke). When I saw some of the food choices in this video (and Adam's food vlog preferences), it made it even more clear. Adam's not one to brag, but I would trust him to pick out food on any trip. If you find better food than my tips, I would graciously defer.

I can definitely see that; I love how you knew it would be 2 gelatos/day at the beginning of the Italy vlogs! By the way, since you've had an amazing year, it would be cool if there was a 2021 recap video with some "A+K Awards": best park in 2021, best hike, best coffee, best taco, best treat, best historic place, best ice cream, best random moment, etc. That could be a lot of fun!
