Portland, Maine


Portland was a ton of fun. Its a really cute quaint little town ... very conducive for walking around, visiting shops and galleries, snacking, and stopping frequently for a pint!





This was a fantastic restaurant where we went for our dinner out. Very rustic and organic and fresh. Lots of fresh hanging herbs, exposed brick and wooden beams. There is a huge impeccable Jamie Oliver looking kitchen in the room where we were seated. The kitchen has a big wooden farm table in the middle where they do their prep work. Very cool. We could essentially see the chefs making our dinner. We ordered grilled lobster over scampi and linguine which was served directly in the frying pan they prepared it in. Absolutely delicious.



Tons of shops. We stopped and got kettle corn and s'more popcorn. yum.


The majority of the side streets are all old cobblestone.


A very fun day and a nice weekend getaway.

Greetings from Kennebunkport


We had a wonderful weekend in Maine. We took a few steps back from spring in seeing snow on the ground, but it was really beautiful and relaxing there. A much slower pace than being in the city.


One of the highlights of our trip was getting to see the Bush compound above. It is really beautiful there. There is a large American flag on the property as well as a wind turbine. We figured we were in the right place when we saw what looked like 10 official looking checkpoints up the drive and into the property. It has the most spectacular view. Not a bad place to enjoy your morning coffee.


There were so many beautiful homes. We were mainly in the car so it was hard to get a lot of photos.


The house above reminded me of the house from Nights in Rodanthe or something from a Nicholas Sparks novel. It looks like something storybook could happen in this house.

Maine


I'm still channeling rural life after our trip to Colorado. I hope you enjoy these amazing photos from Maine photographer, Jonathan Levitt. Oh how I really want to go to Maine. This looks absolutely fantastic.
