Adventures in Maine, Part 1
It's crazy, but the LaCour crew managed to find a spot in our calendars where we could all be in the same town at the same time and not have to work non-stop. So we converged on Wells, Maine. Eric Laurits invited us up to his cottage - along with Chris & Katie Torres - where we've had a blast playing marathon games (4+ hours) of Monopoly, visiting lighthouses, singing a capella and vocal percussion, eating homemade tortellini, antiquing, playing basketball, solving puzzles, drinking beer, wine, coffee, hot apple cider with delightful mulling spices, hot cocoa and Bailey's.
Garrett, Joy and Graycen Nudd were supposed to come, too, but alas, Graycen came down with a cold at the last minute. Miss y'all!
On Monday we ate, according to Reader's Digest for the past 20 years, the best hot dogs on U.S. Highway 1 from Florida to Maine. Flo's Hot Dogs. Simply amazing. I bought a crate full and am taking them home to Georgia with me. Oh, and how about Congdon's Doughnuts. Mmmm... tasty!
On Tuesday, David and Linda Murray invited all of us to their studio in Kennebunkport and then to their amazing home right on beach in Goose Rocks Beach. David cooked everyone mussels and we walked out the side door onto the beach for a leisurely afternoon stroll. We insisted that J Sandifer and Emilie Sommer play hookey from work and come down and visit, too! And we also got to meet and hang out with John Santerre, who shoots weddings with David Murray and also produces multimedia work with the VII agency. Such a beautiful, relaxing day, surrounded by such fun people!
We'll post more soon! We have a ShootQ party today in Portland. Can't wait to see everyone!

OK, I'm really slacking on my blog post. I will make it better soon. How late did you stay up? Nice how 90% of the pictures have wine glasses in them. : )
I love Maine and New England. Hello to everyone out there :)
This looks like an early Thanksgiving day feast. Sounds fun.
What a great opportunity ShootQ has been to travel and network all over the US this year for you guys.. I'm jealous. sniff sinff. Way to write these trips off and make friends along the way. Sounds like a blast! Inspiring, as usual!
So fun to see you all! You just left our house a few minutes ago and we're already missing you! Come back soon!
Katie and Chris: Good wine makes great friends!
Em, I had the same experience when everyone had left. I wanted to do it all over again!
It was so good having the Lacour Express pass this way. So to Mark,Erin,Andrew, dearest Rachel, Chris,Katie,& Eric.... what can I say but that there is nothing like a harmonic convergence in Goose Rocks!
The welcome mat is always outside the door.
