Where should you go for a Maine lobster dinner? As our grown kids would say, "Ummmm, Maine?"

OK, so that's not quite what you meant, was it?

Well, there are different answers depending on what type of experience you would like to have. We'll talk about those options after a little background on Maine lobsters.

When is lobster season?

Sounds like the old "Gilligan's Island" theme, doesn't it? The reality is much nicer (and with a better ending, too!).

We've always found so much to do in and around Freeport that we are sometimes a little surprised when someone asks if there is anything to do here. Some aren't even aware of L.L. Bean's flagship store (and the other L.L. Bean stores), or the other 160-plus stores and outlets in town. But the other question is "What else?"

Shortly after returning home from our holidays in the United Kingdom, we received an email forwarding long-awaited information on the artists and dates for the annual L.L. Bean Summer Concert Series for 2008.
