Kennebunkport, Maine

After 2 nights in Bar Harbor, we packed up the suitcases and headed south to Kennebunkport. Kennebunkport is a small town known as a popular seaside tourist destination made famous by the Bush family (more on that later). Regarded as on of the most expensive vacation areas in the Northeast, we walked and drove around to look at all the beautiful vacation homes. We stayed at the most wonderful bed and breakfast called the Maine Stay Inn. The accommodations were fabulous! The bed and breakfast was 150 years old and so charming. We arrived at tea time, and the owners had tea, coffee, and cookies sitting out. We enjoyed some tea while scanning though the massive stack of restaurant menus they had sitting out. After picking a dinner location (called Lucas on 9 - I couldn't resist), we went out for a walk. After getting wet again, we walked back to the B&B and enjoyed a bottle of wine in the hot tub. Then we had more seafood at dinner and called it a night. Breakfast in the morning was so good. The owners made almond and coconut french toast, and it was to die for! We loved Kennebunkport, as well as the bed and breakfast!
Cute downtown Kennebunkport (note the wet, wet ground).

The coast of Maine, a popular beach destination (obviously not the day we were there!)

Walker's Point, also known as the Bush compound, where the Bush family spends their summers.

Time to say goodbye to the Inn and Kennebunkport. Off to Boston!

  1. You forgot to mention our horrible experience with the Holiday Inn resort in Bar Harbor. It was far from a resort.
