For a graduation present my parents took me on a two day trip to Kennebunk, Maine. I woke up in their apartment greeted by coffee and the news we were going on a little trip. We packed our bags, got in the car and traveled an hour and a half north. We grabbed lunch on our way to our "hotel" at the Maine Diner. It was decadent. Having skipped breakfast we feasted on Chicken Pot Pie and Lobster Pie (pieces of lobstah baked in a custard dish with ritz cracker breadcrumbs and butter... too good to be true.) It was an amazing lunch but I would skip their chocolate cake, it was quite salty. After stuffing ourselves silly we arrived at our quaint cottage. I felt as though I was in a story book!
Everything was so nice! Complimentary cookies and milk, a traditional whoopie pie, pistachios and in the morning muffins and orange juice. Well worth the trip for just the food alone. I would recommend the Cottages at Cabot Cove any day. It was wonderful in itself. The mini cottages are in walking distance from downtown Maine St. so we walked around until we were hungry for dinner! Goofing around on the free bikes was a must.
The Tides Beach Club off of Gooserocks Beach came highly recommended. On the way we were able to see the George H. Bush estate! What a life. The restaurant was delicious to the eye and the taste buds.
Blackberry Mojito... yum.
Followed by the TBC Chicken wings. Sweet, spicy and barbecuey all at one time. Super tender, the meat falls off the bone, but somehow the skin is unbelievably crispy. Perfection, and I am a wing expert.
Sick from all of the decadent food I ordered tuna poke which was pretty good but nothing compared to my dads garlic and butter lobster roll.
In an attempt to burn off some of the calories we crossed the street and took a barefoot walk on the most gorgeous beach I have ever been to, even in the cold. Including beaches all over the California coast, Monaco, Nice, Hawaii and all over Massachusetts. Gooserocks beach definitely takes the cake. I understand why our old president decided to reside here.
All in all it was a wonderful day and week with my family and I will miss New England terribly. Tomorrow is my last day in Boston, so sad... its been an amazing, stressful, emotional and shocking year but it was all worth experiencing. I don't know much about life because I am still so young but I do know that if you have a chance to change your life, you should take it. Every decision I have made over the years has led me to this and I couldn't be more happy.
