28. More fun trips near Portland: today I went to Freeport for a quick trip. Known for LL Bean Store--open 365 days a year-- and outlet shopping, Freeport is also an historical spot so be sure to visit the Jameson Tavern if you have time. From the Tavern site: "Old records indicate that commissioners met in the northeast corner of the second floor of the Inn to sign the final papers giving Maine her independence from Massachusetts and giving Jameson Tavern and the town of Freeport their claim to ‘the Birthplace of Maine’. Maine’s entrance into the union was accomplished through the ‘Missouri Compromise’ and a plaque hangs on the property placed here in 1914 by the Daughters of the American Revolution commemorating this historic event."
I grabbed a lunch at the LL Bean Cafe near the fishing gear. Lots of yummy all natural selections. I had a fresh rice, turkey, cranberry and nut salad.
29. Discount shopping for Women's clothes-- COOP store in Freeport. They have lots of name brands at big markdowns and final sales items are usually $19.95!
30. On the way out of town, I scored a really nice pair of CYDWOQ shoes at J L Coombs Shoe outlet. (Their logo above) They have
another store with bargain basement right in town, too.
I saved $200 off retail price!!
