Freeport: boring

Freeport had one cool thing, otherwise... a big yawn!

I knew that Freeport was home to many brand name outlet stores, as well as being home base for LL Bean, so how do you NOT go to LL Bean when you are in Maine? I had visions of buying Christmas gifts and something for John's 2nd birthday... Well, Freeport is one big outlet mall, and its the same stores you'll see up at Dawsonville, GA.

I went in the LL Bean outlet store and didn't see even ONE thing that I was tempted to buy. Maybe if I needed luggage or another tote bag, but I don't... and there wasn't even a tee-shirt that tempted me for John. So, I left zero dollars in Freeport.

The one cool thing? LL Bean offers free concerts every weekend during the summer months and the band was setting up as I arrived. People had already claimed their spots w/ lawn chairs and the music was going to begin at 7pm, but I didn't stay. What a great marketing thing for LL Bean!
