			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="dropcap-first">Wanderlust &#8211; &#8220; a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about.&#8221;  It&#8217; s in our blood. We&#8217;ve been known to become uncomfortably involved with a class VI road because we &#8220;just want to see what&#8217;s around the corner.&#8221; Anyway, while we can&#8217;t travel as extensively as we&#8217;d like right now, we try to have fun with little road trips. We&#8217;ve had <em>beautiful </em>weather lately, (in the wake of about a month&#8217;s worth of rain) so it seemed like a good opportunity to do some explorin&#8217; .  This past weekend we found ourselves in Maine. Of course, we&#8217;ve been there many times before but we found some very neat places/things and we thought we should share. Enjoy. :) <em>&#8211;Tay</em></p>
<p>&#8230;as we made our way to Ogunquit Beach, we came across two really cool places, the first was the <a href="http://www.oldhouseparts.com" target="_blank">Old House Parts Company</a>, a recycled building materials warehouse in Kennebunk, Maine. Tay and  I (Kerry&#8217;s handling the play-by-play for this post, btw) love this sort of thing and they had a ton of great pieces, all extremely well organized. It was a great photo op (the photo on the right, below, was taken at this place as well as the 2nd to last pair of photos):</p>
<p></p>

<p>The next place we came across was the Johnson Hall Museum, a fairly strange&#8212;but interesting&#8212;privately-owned curio shop morphing into a musem of sorts (also in Kennebunk). There were lots of quasi-historic out-buildings in various stages of decay, but again, crazy photo ops. Tay was a little creeped out by this antique jail cell, but not enough to avoid posing in it for me! Most of these photos are hers, by the way, she has a great eye for this sort of photography.</p>

<p align="center">As mentioned, a couple from the Old House Parts Co.</p>

<p>Ahhh, finally at the beach! The ocean is <em>so</em> reinvigorating. We always say we want to get to the ocean a lot every summer, but then don&#8217;t. In the past two weeks we&#8217;ve been there three times, <em>yes</em>! This was a fun series of images. We were on a boardwalk amongst the dune grass and wild roses. I wanted this shot, but had to sit on the opposite railing, hook my legs underneath and lean <em>way</em> back over the rose bushes to get the right angle. Let&#8217;s just say my abs weren&#8217;t quite up to the task and Tay couldn&#8217;t keep a straight face for very long! Of course, it was worth it and I&#8217;m still waiting to take a bad picture of her. Love this shot.</p>
