welcome to kennebunkport! -snippets of our labor day in maine.

With our lives about to get pretty busy (with work + school) we saw this Labor Day as a good opportunity to go do something fun without the guilt of neglected homework.  So we up and went to Maine!  I had never been & Mckay had been once before, but only for a football game and he didn't really see any of it.  I was so excited for the long weekend and the chance to explore the coast.  We camped for two nights in Kennebunkport and then spent one more night in a B&B (lest we get too nature-y) in Rockland & made a quick brunch stop in Portland.

We had such a blast!  The camping made my weekend.  We had such a fun time snuggling in the tent in the early morning sunshine and sporting our new head lamps -two camping musts.  Friday night we made it to Kennebunkport & set up our tent in the dark then had fabulous lobster dinner at Nunan's Lobster Hut.  

Saturday we:

 hit up The Wayfarer for breakfast 

window shopped downtown Kennebunkport 

stopped in at an "upscale church tag sale" where cute old ladies tried to sell us old table linens (I did score a vintage milk glass vase!)

took a glorious nap at Goose Rocks Beach

ate dessert before dinner 

built a monstrous campfire 

made tin-foil dinners 

talked for a few hours by the heat of the fire 

had a second dessert of s'mores 

& finished the night off with a few rounds of Speed  [not of the methamphetamine variety] under the stars.

The next morning we left Kennebunkport and drove another two hours north to Rockland for our last night.  We stayed in a cute B&B, The Captain Lindsey House and I was most excited for the fluffy duvet cover and TV in the bedroom (we have neither).  We shopped a little more, had a fabulous dinner at In Good Company, saw a movie and then lounged and watched TV in the comfy bed.  On Labor Day we woke up to a yummy breakfast and then walked to the Rockland lighthouse.  It's 7/8ths of a mile out on a granite breakwater in the harbor.  It was a long walk, but gorgeous and so fun to walk hand in hand with Mckay and laugh and have such an enjoyable time together.  We stopped at another lighthouse on our way out and then hit the road for the 6ish hour trek home.

Lastly, we stopped at a farm stand!  One of my top favorites of the North East is the plethora of fresh produce stands you can find dotted across this part of the country.  We loaded up on fresh everything including blueberry pie and apple cider.  

It was such a perfect, fun, relaxing, romantic weekend.  I sure do love Mckay more than anything in the world & spending time with him makes me a most incredibly happy girl (mush).   I feel so lucky to live the life I do.
