Maine Trip Part IV: Cape Elizabeth and York's Wild Kingdom!

On our last full day in Maine, we made sure to see the Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest lighthouse, in Cape Elizabeth.  It was an extremely cold and windy day, but we had a blast climbing all the huge stones along the coast nonetheless.  Afterwards, Shaulnie recommended this awesome local bakery in south Portland called Scratch Baking Company.  It was awesome!  For lunch, we enjoyed fresh-made deli sandwiches and yummy baked goods such as brownies and tarts.  It is definitely a "must-do" for any tourist visiting Cape Elizabeth and the Portland Head Light!

From Cape Elizabeth, we headed to York's Wild Kingdom in York, Maine to meet Krishna Kaki, Keshav and Vidya for a zoo and amusement park adventure en route to Boston!  Unfortunately to Arjun's dismay, the amusement park was closed till the beginning of their summer season (July on the east coast).  Nonetheless, under Keshav's guidance, the kids had a blast visiting with and feeding all the animals at the zoo!  Thank you so much to Krishna Kaki for planning such awesome family outings for us while on our vacation!  We all had an amazing time!  Momma even got a chance to stop by the Stonewall Kitchen Campus Store to buy some specialty spreads in York before heading back to Boston!

Checking out the various primates! The kids learned so
much from Keshav and his love for animals!

Feeding the ducks!

 

These kids were not afraid to feed the goats!

Crocodile exhibit!

Checking out the primates again!

Arjun absolutely loved seeing the llamas and
they reminded him of his Llama Llama
bedtime story books!  He even recited one
of the books to this llama here and told him,
"Hold on Mr. Llama, I'll go get my book from
home!"

 

First time paddle boating in the duck pond! The boys loved it!
