T Stands for Three Tickets for T

Hi everyone.  It's time for T again over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.  For T day you just need to link up a drink in your post. In this post I have 3 links to drinks. 

Last Thursday my husband had to go to Belfast, Maine for a meeting. Belfast is a 3 hour drive from my house, part way up the Maine coast, and is a really charming little town. The hubby asked me if I wanted to come along for the ride, and I did.

We left just after 5:30 AM. Stop one was just before we got on the Maine turnpike, about an hour away, in Biddeford (Maine) for a quick  break and to grab some breakfast to go.

I rarely go to McDonald's  so I didn't know they had these fun little quotes on their drink cup lids. Here's my wake me up Diet Coke.

While my husband was at his meeting I took  a short walk and mostly read in the car. 

After my husband's meeting ended, he and I went downtown and had lunch. It was  a perfect summer day so we sat outside.

We had only a little bit of a water view from our table, but we did have a nice mural view.

I had unsweetened iced tea to drink, and this is my second ticket for T this week.

I was debating whether to have a lobster roll since I was in Maine (home of the Maine lobster, even though you can find them at the New Hampshire coast too), but they also had a grilled cheese crabmeat sandwich on special. I haven't had crabmeat for a long long time as you hardly ever see it on the menu at home, so I went with that. The hubby was surprised I didn't order the lobster roll, but since he was buying lunch, I bet he was happy I went with the special. 😉

After lunch the hubby had to catch up on some work calls from the car, so that gave me time to walk around downtown. I didn't take a lot of photos since I was busy browsing, but here's a few I did take.

I didn't check out the story behind this oldest shoe store in the US, but it makes a good photo.

This boating bear isn't a great photo, as I snapped it inside the restaurant as we walked out. 

It's also a good thing we didn't have the truck with us, as I would have wanted one of these cool metal arbors for my garden.

Do you need to sit a minute and relax? The car is an uphill walk. And I know, this post is rambling on a bit.

Here's one view of downtown Belfast. It's not a very big downtown, but there's some artsy stores in the mix. 

I loved these mugs in the kitchen shop, but they were way too pricey for my budget. These are ticket #3 for T this week.

When I got back to the car my husband said he saw a woman walking by with a huge bag stuffed with yarn. Had I found the yarn shop? 😉

My ears perked up like the dogs do when you say the word treat. Yarn shop? 

No I hadn't found it. He was done with the phone calls so he headed out with me. I didn't need any yarn, but I did actually need a 40 inch sized 10 1/2  knitting needle (for knitting in the round) to work on my Icelandic sweater.  

They had just what I needed, and even though they had some very nice yarn, I walked out with just my needles.👍

Since it was Thursday and my husband had to work on Friday, we headed home fairly early. We did have to make one more stop though.

It had been a few hours since lunch-grin.

What flavor would you choose? I had a cup with half mocha chip and half espresso anise swirl. And since espresso is usually a drink, I might be able to count that as ticket #4 for T. Smile. 

Thanks for reading this far and visiting my blog. And thank you Elizabeth for hosting.  Have a great T day and week ahead.
