For the last two days of our trip, we decided to move off the
lake and out to some Maine towns. The
first stop was Freeport, a town well known for its outlet shopping and L.L. Bean
headquarters. We spent a little time
shopping and decided we would really rather be doing something else on a
beautiful day in Maine. So, we walked
around town, stopped at Azure Café for a delicious lunch, had some fun at LL
Bean and topped it off with Ben & Jerry before heading to our next destination.

Back in the car, we figured if we were in Freeport, there
must be a port somewhere. We started driving towards the water not
really knowing what we would find. Luckily, there was a cute marina to be
found. Pretty much, it was just a
restaurant and lots of boat spaces, but it was a nice spot to take some pics
and watch the water.
We had plans to meet friends for dinner in Portland that
evening, but wanted to get there early so we could walk around and
explore. Portland was great! It is filled with cute shops, some were
touristy but a lot were small boutiques, bars, restaurants and specialty
stores. For dinner we went to Portland Lobster Co., a great spot right on the pier in Portland. They had live music, great food & beer
and our friends were able to bring their dog along. We quickly learned that Portland is very dog
friendly – everyone brings their pets out and all the shops give out treats. Our last stop of the night was another local
bar where we sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather.

Heading home on our final day, we decided to stop at Kennebunkport. Similar to the day before,
we did a lot of walking around and checked out the local shops before stopping
for lunch. We weren’t quite ready to
head home, but knew our vacation had to end.
Aside from the traffic, I’m Shariously glad we decided to
vacation in Maine this summer.
