Last week we took a day trip to Maine and New Hampshire since we live relatively close to both of them. And let's just say, I fell completely in love with Maine!!! And New Hampshire isn't chopped liver either. We just went to the bottom of Maine, it's about 2 hours away from where we live, so it was a doable drive with Oliver. Over all he did a great job, there were some sketchy moments in the car when all was not well, but they passed and we enjoyed the beauties of the seaside. We went to we went to several coastal towns in Maine and it was simply one of the most beautiful places either of us has been. We just loved it. All the rocky beaches and lovely homes. They were exactly what you would picture some New England towns to look like. I asked Zack if he could commute to school from Maine, but he said no. Oh well, I guess we will just have to go back and visit. We also went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It was a really fun town too. It has a lot of shipyards in their port which makes it kind of interesting. (Especially to Oliver!) And we ate at a really good Mexican restaurant there. YUM. Anyway, it was a great trip, and we would love to take any visitors there should they come to visit us. HINT HINT!! Enjoy the pics....
This is the most photographed lighthouse in the United States. Yeah, that's right, we went there, and you should too! So come and visit.
On our walk to the beach in Kennebunkport, it was really fun to see all the marshes and homes.
The sandy beaches at Kennebunkport. The sand was super soft! And the water was really cold!
I think this was Oliver's favorite part of the trip, the lollipop Zack bought him!
The beaches in York, a little more crowded, but pretty.
Nubble Light just outside of York. It was really pretty. Too bad Oliver had fallen asleep in the car, so we couldn't really spend a lot of time there.
This isn't actually where we ate, but we did eat at a lobster place in Maine.
And this is the lobster we ate!!
Oliver loved the ships in Portsmouth and the place we ate, was outside right on the port. It was so fun to watch Oliver ooohhh and ahhhh over the boats.
