We're only going back for a week, so I think any real touristy stuff is unlikely to happen. My brother and two sisters who still live in Maine have been redoing my mom's house. She had really let the place go - lots of water damage from a leaky roof, pipes that had burst... the whole bathroom had to be replaced. So far our only contribution has been to pay for the two dumpsters that were required to get rid of a lot of the junk she had. This is the first weekend since the beginning of May that they haven't worked on her house - and it's still not done!

I've never been to Vinalhaven. You'll have to post pictures. I am really looking forward to Italians, lobster rolls and cream horns.
