Maine

Labor Day weekend we took our mini-honeymoon to Maine. I call it mini because it was only for 3-4ish days and 3 nights and because we plan to take a bigger honeymoon somewhere more tropical and honeymoon-like in the future whenever we have time.  We had so much fun on this trip I would be fine with calling this our actual honeymoon, but if Chuck wants to take me somewhere tropical for at least a week later down the road, I'm not going to argue!

We stayed at the Maine Stay Inn & Cottages in Kennebunkport, Maine. Getting there on Friday proved to be pretty difficult, as it seems everyone else in Boston headed North for the long weekend as well. But we had snacks and the radio and a weekend of relaxation ahead of us so we were just fine with the 3+ hours it took us to get to what should have only taken an hour and 45 minutes. Instead of boring you with tons of details I'll just let our pictures do most the talking. I'm only uploading my favorites here and will load all of the pictures to a Facebook album if you want to see more.

 

Our cottage! And our rental car- Louisville Cardinal Red. :)

Portland Head Light on Cape Elizabeth near Portland, Maine.

Gorgeous coast

 

Not just any pedestrians, but elderly ones.

While trying to find a Target, the directions took us down "Cummings Rd." So obviously we drove up and down it until we could get a good shot of the street sign. We were actually semi-stopped at a green light to get this shot... Worth it.

Delicious dinner, drinks and dessert at Tia's Topside in Kennebunkport.

The Bush Family compound in Kennebunkport. Hey, George!

Waited in a long line at the Clam Shack to try their award winning lobster roll. It was... lobstery.

The B&B. Loved it.

About to head back to Boston.

We love Maine!

Here are my observations of Maine.
- The people are very nice.
- The beaches are very different from most beaches. The biggest difference? No palm trees. I liked it.
- You can get lobster at pretty much any restaurant you go to.
- The state is probably so gorgeous in the Fall with all of the colorful leaves and also gorgeous in the winter with snow.
- They do not see a lot of Kentuckians.
- They have moose crossing signs like Kentucky has deer crossing signs. We really wanted to see a moose. Instead all we saw was a wild turkey. Lame.
