Brunswick, Maine

We have started the next phase of our Navy adventure. I had no idea what to expect in Maine. Someone told Sam there was a twin bed in the BOQ and nothing to do up here. I figured it could be even worse than Dahlgren. We drove up to Brunswick, Maine yesterday. We were ecstatic to find that this place is amazing! The scenery is gorgeous, there are quaint little towns all around and our room is amazing. There is a Starbucks and a Borders within a mile. There are about 15 places to eat ice cream and tons of other places to eat real meals.

We are very easily excited about things like this, after our Dahlgren experience. Even if Sam has long hours, I think I can find plenty to do here to entertain myself.

Our room is spotless. The beds are twin, but since there are two we created one bigger bed.


We have a normal sized refrigerator and freezer,


a nice sink and counter,


and a normal sized vanity and shower.


We have two desks and plenty of space.




I'm not afraid I'll get lead poisoning from the blow dryer here. It is amazing.

The weather here is absolutely perfect for my pregnant self. No humidity and temperatures in the 60's and 70's. Normally I would probably think that was a little on the cold side for summer, but it feels heavenly right now. Words can't even describe how much better this place is than Dahlgren. I am very happily surprised by how wonderful it is here. Sadly, this base is in the process of being closed down. If anyone asked for my opinion, I'd say close down Dahlgren and use this base instead! Unfortunately, no one asks my opinion about these things. I'll enjoy being here while I can though.

If you don't think these pictures are exciting, check out my January post about Dahlgren and you will understand.
