I first saw the beautiful state of Maine when I was 16, I lived in Blue Hill a town near Bar Harbor. My sophomore summer I lived in Camden. I've also spent a few long weekends in Prout's neck near Portland. I think Maine is the most beautiful place in the States (but I can't claim to have seen all of our states). Alaska is stunning but the weather is a major detraction, while Maine boasts lovely weather. Last week I visited Hermes in Kennebunkport where we've been vacationing together for 5 summers. We've spotted tons of Bush's, antiqued, mud walked, dined on Hermes amazing food, sat on the beach and I catch up on all my magazines. If you've never been I highly suggest you add it to your list!

I love Maine, although we usually don't venture further north than York. Kennebunkport is on my list of places to go soon!
ReplyDeleteMaine is the best!
ReplyDeleteWe summered in Kennebunkport for years when the kids were little right near the Bush compound. What a treat that was and I loved Mabel's and Porpoise Cove! love hearing you are having great times!
ReplyDeleteoh i would love to visit maine : is one of those states ( which New England) i would see one day for sure !
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Maine sounds lovely! So glad you are having a wonderful summer! :-) XOXO
ReplyDeleteI agree I like Maine as well. Visited on a New England cruise a few yrs ago. The ship docked in Portland and tendered at Bar Harbor. Both beautiful places.
ReplyDeleteI must say that I thought Alaska was beautiful as well. Two different arenas these two states are though.
It's on my list! In fact we planned to go a number of years ago so I called the Maine tourism people and they told me they would send me all sorts of information so we could plan our trip. They never did. So we didn't go there. We went to Vermont instead.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture!!! So fun you've seen lots of Bush's! One of my good friends was up in Maine and she got an adorable pic with Goorge Sr and was wearing Lilly it was too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI must go!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get to Maine one day - it sounds amazing. Definitely a better alternative to the scorching weather we've had down south this summer!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic, you're selling me on it!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to go for a few years now. I must make it happen! I would love to hang out at the beach, go antiquing, and maybe even spot a few of the Bush's! Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love the scenery and nice summer temperatures. Love your picture. Someone once gave me a huge pair of red lobster earrings from Maine while I was doing a summer internship and I still treasure them.
ReplyDeleteI miss Maine! I used to go up there to camp in the summer and I went up for sailing. It's gorgeous up there!
ReplyDeleteI agree - Maine is wonderful!! Looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI've never been but it sounds fabulous! Glad you had a great vacation.

Maine is absolutely so lovely! I've only visited Bar Harbor and Rockland, but Kennebunkport sounds incredible too! If you ever get to Rockland, make sure to eat at Primo, it is amazing. My sister worked there with Chef Melissa Kelly. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're relaxing and enjoying the end of the summer Beth!! xoxo
I have only been to Maine briefly but will def have to revisit.
ReplyDeletebtw: I love to go antiquing in all the different cities I visit too. And sitting on a beach anywhere reading mags is the best :)
Love Maine are you wearing a Roberta Roller Rabbit? xx
ReplyDeleteWill certainly be adding it to my list... HHL
ReplyDeletecan't beat old fav's with some of your old fav's :) things are classics for a reason!
ReplyDeletekHm
Maine is one of my favorite states. I plan on vacationing there next year. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I don't love about Maine is the drive!
ReplyDeleteI have only spent 24 hours in Maine for a business trip and I have been itching to return ever since.
ReplyDeleteI need to get to Maine sometime. I know I'll love it there.
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me miss Maine so so much!! I went to Bates (in Lewiston), and have spent many many summers in Bar Harbor and Boothbay Harbor area! Enjoy your vacation!! =)
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I hav enot been to Maine, but would love to. I can tell you this...your vista is much better than mine of my house in boxes...
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!! I want to do that trip! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love Maine...well, the idea of Maine; I've never been there but it looks beautiful & I've always wanted to see it...hopefully one day!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

I've never been to Maine but now you've made me want to go! Love the picture!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe that Husby and I only just visited Maine (Kennebunk) for the first time last year?! We LOVED it. As soon as the little one is big enough, we're going back.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous vaca!
ReplyDeleteDying to make it that far north for a visit sometime! I suppose, technically, I have been that far north, but through upstate New York, into Canada. Never into Maine. My in-laws went a few years ago & had the most beautiful photos to share. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to vaycay there. Lobster rolls...YUM!
ReplyDeleteI've been everywhere man....'cept Maine. Ya'll look so cute there on the beach enjoying yourselves. It looks magnificent!
ReplyDeleteGod bless ya and have an irremediable day!!!
Maine is AMAZING! I'd summer there every year if I could. We went to a wedding in Scarborough about a month ago and had the best time. But my favorite area by far is Bar Harbor. Love it up there!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I quoted you on my blog today. :)
I love the picture! I agree, Maine is amazing! I only wish I could visit again!
ReplyDeleteAdore Maine... southern Maine. I don't know I would have the patience to ride too far into the state! Love outlet shopping in Freeport and Portland is a hip, happenin' little city by the sea... of course adore the Yorks and GHWB's stompin'grounds!
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you i'm a little sad your not a follower of my blog anymore ...But sure i will follow yours!
ReplyDeleteI love Maine too! I'm glad you had a nice time in Kennebunkport.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy your Labor Day weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYou still do have a summer? Apart from two weeks in July, we have been freezing our toes off... xx
ReplyDeleteIt's on my travel list! Thank you for the recommendation~
ReplyDeleteMaine is one of my "must-sees!" That's so fun that you saw a lot of the Bush's- I'd love to run into any of them!
ReplyDeleteMy in laws visited Maine late last summer and said it was beautiful. Would love to visit. Your post made me yearn for my summer vacation. What I wouldn't give to be back at the beach at this very moment. Enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteI love Maine, especially when we stayed out at Samoset! Can't wait to get back out East! FUN! FUN! FUN!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Maine! Looks like everyone had a great time!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there in years but I loved it. The antiquing is heaven.
