New England Road Trip: Kennebunkport, Salem, Plymouth

Still trying to finish our trip we took in May so here are the last three days! Our second to last day we woke up early and drove up north 2.5 hours to Kennebunkport, Maine. This little town is without a doubt mine and Bryan's favorite from the trip and possibly ever. We loved it, I want to spend a week in Maine alone! We went out to see the Bush family compound and they had the Texas Flag flying high which meant they were there. I was hoping to spot them around the town but no such luck!

I have a thing for taking pics at the state lines. I make Bryan get in the right lane and drive slow. Ha!

When we crossed the Mane line there were Moose crossings signs!






LOVED traveling with Pam and Kelly!!









I thought this was so cute! This was the parking lot we parked in and it was honor system. 


I feel like pictures just don't do this place any justice. It was the most charming place I've ever been.





The Clam Shack catered Barbara Bush's 80th birthday so of course we had lunch there. 












Later in the day we said our goodbyes and drove through Portsmouth, NH and then on to Salem, MA. Salem wasn't my favorite but still fun to see It was....interesting to say the least. And the people? Well they were interesting too. And not terribly friendly. And took this witch stuff pretty serious. 














Our last day was kind of lame according to Bryan. I really wanted to see Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower. I wasn't expecting it to be exciting but Kade learned about the pilgrims and all that this year in school. Now the really nerdy History degree girl in me is about to come out but connecting what your learn in school to real life is what makes history so awesome. Unfortunately the Mayflower was closed for repairs during our visit so our trip to Plymouth was just to see the rock. One review on Trip Advisor said "its been underwhelming tourists for many years." and we totally agree  We went and saw it and thats that. Afterwards we took the kids to the beach, they had been begging all week so we figure it was time! 































We went to dinner that night and had a seafood feast. We were so sad to go home the next day. We loved New England so much.
