Hello from Bath, Maine on another hectic leg of our road trip. We spent time with our friend Kristen this afternoon at her family’s farm so I will be recapping that once I’m home! It was so great to see her!

Then we did some lighthouse things and spent a lot of time looking for somewhere to eat because being on the SEAFOOD COAST makes it hard when you’re vegetarian. Finally, we found the Bath Brewing Co in, well, Bath that has a KELP BURGER.

Dang you guys. It was GÜD.

Of course, we were a family on edge after a day of arguing, etc. and even though we were “getting along” at this point, I think tension was oozing from our table and our server, EMILY WHO WAS GREAT, was picking up on it because every encounter with our table had her eyes glowing with anxiety. I was so irritated because no one can ever answer a question. Like, all she asked was “do you want me to bring some small plates out?” after she set down an appetizer and instead of one of us just saying yes, we all look at each in a panic like we’re trying to recall a script or something.

Why are we like this?!

“She probably thinks Henry kidnapped us and it was so long ago that we don’t remember it and now we’re just stunted,” I mumbled.

And for some reason this made Chooch lose his mind with laughter while he had a mouthful of food so Henry was like, “PLEASE DO NOT SPIT THAT OUT” and Chooch goes, “Oh ok when have I ever done that?!”

Henry immediately said, “MILKSHAKE.”

Hilariously, Chooch knew exactly what he was referencing and then began laughing even harder, almost shooting his kelp burger (copied me) across the patio.

Then I remembered that it was Henry’s COWTAIL MILKSHAKE from Sheetz. Henry had only had one sip before Chooch asked for a sip, at which point something made him laugh and he spit a LARGE WAD of milkshake back into the cup and all over the table because if I remember correctly we were sitting outside at a table for some reason?!

So then we went from being the shifty “out of the bunker for the day” family to just your basic annoying assholes.

And then I took a picture of Henry exiting the bathroom before we left.

Also my blog is still largely broken so if anything looks weird that’s why. It’s also defaulting to “comments off” so I’m not just being stand-offish.
