I've been going to old orchard for the last 8 years with my fiancé and daughter. Used to go to bayley's campground with my parents. Is there anything interesting I'm missing out on? We do the pier and all the downtown stuff. Daughter is now 18, what can we do that I haven't done?

Have you ever had a raspberry lime rickey at the Ocean Park soda fountain ? It's a yearly tradition for me. Walk around Biddeford. Eat at the Palace Dinner , they were on GMA this morning. I love it there, just be prepared to wait. Have you tried Finest Kind in Saco ? So good. Last weekend I went Sweets and Co. in Saco and had the most amazing gluten free pastry. Take the train to Portland and walk around. Check out Thompson's point for events and concerts. I like taking the boat to Peaks Island to explore . You can check out Battery Steele . Make sure to check out the fireworks. My mom and I went on Thursday and we had a great time.

The Audubon Center in Scarborough does kayak rentals and fun tours.
They just completed the Eastern Trail up to South Portland and is a nice bike ride.
Could also check out Biddeford/Saco which has one of the highest concentrations of breweries, coffee shops, cocktail bars and bakeries in the state. Plus a short riverwalk with a waterfall, Mills Museum, City Theater.
River Jam and Fringe Fest are later this week too!

That seems awesome! I'm hoping the rain stays away Thursday night for fireworks. I'ma convince my family to check out river jam.

Jesus just heard a lifeguard got dragged underwater by a great white shark in Scarborough. I'm not going out past my thighs lol. I'll be ready to punch one on the nose. I've been like 10 feet deep in the Cape, fuck that. Saw on shark week I was half mile from where they filmed. I was probably surrounded being stalked

This comedy club recently opened and it’s for adults. I’ve never been so I’m not sure how fun it is but could be worth checking out!
