WOLFE'S NECK

Before the heatwave swept over Maine, we were experiencing a bit of a dreary spring. Not letting the damp weather get us down we decided to make the most of it and venture to where the woods meet the sea. Luckily, we didn't have to go far! 

To be completely honest I'm kind of in love with moody weather. A soft blanket of fog covered they bay and lingered amongst the trees setting a mystical tone over the coastal forest, poetic in its beauty.

We wandered along the trails breathing in the deep pine scent and stumbled upon the pefect place to enjoy lunch. 

There's nothing like a picnic by the sea...

After spending a few hours soaking in all of the nature we decided to make our way back home. But first we made sure to stop by the farm down the road to pet the baby sheep, goats and cows! We're really loving this coastal New England life!! 

CAMDEN

This post is longggg over due. A few months ago, when the sun still shone past four o'clock, we were able to get away for a mini vacation two hours north along the coast. Our week was filled with plenty of wine, homemade pasta, a sunset sail, a hike with a stunning view, kayaking, a lot of eating out, quality time with the best people... I could go on but I'll just let the photos speak for themselves...

 

 

CASCO BAY FERRY RIDE

I’ve discovered a secret! Well, it’s really not a secret to the locals (or even tourists) but a few weeks ago I took the ferry on a sunset tour around Casco Bay. Don’t ask me how I’ve lived in Maine for nearly two years and am just now finding out about this! Christin and I set out one balmy evening in search of the ferry docks. For a minimal fee you get to hop on the ferry and take a 3 hour ride around the islands dotting the bay.

There is a mad dash when the gate opens of people trying to get prime seating on the benches in the front of the boat. However, if you walk to the back you can spread out a blanket and practically have the whole thing to yourself (views and all!) As two girls who love to eat, we naturally came prepared with a picnic including one of the best lobster rolls I've found in Maine, fried brussels sprouts drizzled with sriracha aoli, and truffle fries all from Milly's Skillet washed down with a bottle of Pinot Gris.

As the cool ocean breeze took over we slipped on some warmer layers and took in the sights. Boats bobbed in the bay while seagulls swooped overhead. 

Watching as the sun dipped down below the horizon painting the sky ablaze with fiery oranges and golds and finally fading into the palest of pinks as twilight emerged.

The perfect end to a classic Maine evening with a great friend!
