Maine


A week ago I was just getting done with my kayak trip around the Frenchman's Bay and Porcupine Island's in Bar Harbor, Maine. What a fun trip it was!

The middle picture are the islands we kayaked around.

I am so glad that Laura said we should go -- the scenery was just breathtaking. I think my favorite thing about Maine was that you didn't have to choose what was your favorite... you got the best of the mountains and the beach. And the colors! Oh my gosh -- the contrast between the browns of the rocks, the greens of the trees and blues of the ocean and sky -- WOW!


The leaves weren't quite turning yet, but there were a couple of trees ahead of the game... and those only made me wonder... I am sure what I see in my mind isn't even close to what they really look like!


If you get a chance to go, I highly suggest you do! Maine was amazing! Here are some pictures:

Our amazing little inn -- nice and romantic. Oh well! I loved that the room looks exactly how I pictured the East Gable at Green Gables (and Anne lovers out there?).

The inn was quite the destination for weddings. On Sunday afternoon we watched on from our porch, and yes I of course took pictures. Sometimes I'm shameless!

There were, of course, lobsters (real and fake, the traps) EVERYWHERE! Our first night there was also the night we ate lobster. It was good -- I still prefer shrimp or crab.
