365/365 - New Year's Eve at L.L. Bean



Today we left for a weekend getaway to Maine and L.L. Bean. I can't believe that we haven't been here since August of 2009. It will be interesting to see what has changed up here; there is always something different at L.L. Bean.

We spent the evening at L.L. Bean. There certainly were a lot of changes. The coffee shop is now downstairs along with books and pet supplies where the kids clothes used to be. I think Paul is really going to like it. There are lots of comfortable chairs. For years their coffee shop was called the Dew Drop Inn and it was in the middle of their furniture department and book department. This made it really convenient for Paul to read until he fell asleep in a comfortable chair. Then they added their Hunting and Fishing store onto the main building and things got really changed around. The coffee shop was put in a little corridor. Anyhow, this new change is really good. I hope it stays like this for awhile.

L.L. Bean was decorated outside so beautifully for Christmas. Here are a few pictures.

Ahhhh! Are you trying to make jealous? If yes, it's working. The lights are beautiful. Maine is beautiful. The little doors are charming and that giant boot is just a photo op waiting to happen. I want pictures by it!

I am so in love!!!

I hope you've had a wonderful time.

On your next trip to New England you need to visit LL Bean. The store is so much fun and the area is just beautiful.

I can just imagine all of your pictures in front of the boot, LOL!
