the maine thing
I’ve been in Maine for about 48 hours, sampling their fine fare, meeting the good people, and exploring wonderful farms and local businesses. I’ve heard so much about Maine and it only took me 40 years to get out here to see it for myself. Just wanted to share a few snaps before I ship off to sea:
flash fried shishito peppers
blueberry shrub spritzer
learning about educating children on the gulf of maine
visiting one of many farms
beautiful lunch
pretty spaces

One thing I miss about living in CT is how close we were to Maine. Our first (and only so far, how sad) vacation to celebrate our 10 year anniversary was to Acadia National Park and if you ever get a chance to explore that gorgeous area jump on it. We rented a small cottage much cheaper than any hotel I could find and the short week we were there was not enough time to see/do it all. If we still lived in CT we’d be going back! We went in October when the leaves were changing and it was glorious. Enjoy your trip and safe travels.

Lady!
I grew up on the coast, north of Boston.
How are there not any lobster pictures in here yet?!
:-)

Welcome to Maine! I am been a reader for a while and was so happy to see this post! I live right outside of Portland. Glad to see you’re enjoying your time here, it’s a wonderful state!

I just returned this week from our family vacation from Maine. We were also at that wonderful place with the shishito peppers! It was amazing! We ate so well I think I want to live there!

Went to “Bah Hah-bur” and Acadia Nat’l Park when I was younger. Ate myself in lobster and loved it! Beautiful area; wished I was there right now!
