In Kennebunkport

Dear Imaginary Friends and presidential peepers,

Being in the general area, we drove from Portland, Maine, south toward Kennebunkport. I was looking for a little glitz and glamor, knowing the Bush compound was there on Walker's Point. 

The town is friendly and very casual. The main evidence of wealth is the size of the beautiful homes on Ocean Avenue. The Yacht Club is also somewhat swanky. The Bush home is large but extremely unpretentious. There is a guard house and the guard is looking at you, as if to say, keep moving! Scram!

Red's in Wiscasset

Dear Imaginary Friends,

A famous and popular lobster roll destination in Southeast Maine is a simple shack called Red's, where tourists stand in long lines to partake of the largest lobster rolls anywhere. The location is the northernmost point of Wicasset. 

Another popular spot for lobster rolls comes with scenery: the Lobster Shack at Cape Elizabeth, next to the Portland Headlight (Lighthouse.)

But actually, I liked the lobster rolls at Andy's Pub in Portland and Allison's Restaurant in Kennebunkport. You decide!:)

If I wanted to get fat, here is one place to start! Right behind our hotel is the Standard Baking Company. Are you feeling in the mood for an almond croissant? Check!

Boothbay Harbor Tour

This is a glimpse of Boothbay Harbor on a beautiful, sunny and crisp August afternoon. 

When in Maine, a harbor boat tour is a must. 

Penaquid Point, Maine

On a spit of land projecting into the rough Atlantic, glaciers clawed marks on the rocky shoreline. Their rugged beauty is offset by a lighthouse that is featured on the Maine quarter.
