Final Days of Summer

Where did the summer go?

I am in shock that it is already the end of August.

Without question, one of my favorite parts of the past few months was going up to visit my parents on the coast of Maine.  Below are some of my favorite memories and images from the weekend trips and my week long vacation up to Maine.
