Day 18 was a short driving day from Freeport, Maine to Manchester, New Hampshire. It allowed us to stop at one more beach for this vacation. We headed for Old Orchard Beach near Scarborough, ME. We got there around 9:30 am and it was already filling up.

Still lots of real estate to choose from.

We chose the strip of beach that is right in the heart of town near the pier.

There is an amusement park on the beach.

Claudia could catch the odd wave that she could ride pretty far.

The sand around us was filling up.

It was packed when we left.

It is a pretty hopping town, probably jammed on the weekends.

Our driving route for Day 18. $3.75 in tolls on the Maine Turnpike.

Off to the ballpark to watch the New Hampshire Fisher Cats take on the New Britain Rock Cats.
