Nate will be going back to rotations in a week, so what better way to end the summer than to take a trip!
We traveled to Maine & made a few stops along the way. Our first stop was Salem, MA. We of course went into all the "witch" shops, saw the museums & the Salem Witch Trial Memorial. We even, possibly saw a few real witches?? Before leaving we decided to do dinner at a restaurant located on the water, which was really pretty. I was coaxed into trying raw oysters.... needless to say that didn't go so well, but I will spare the details!

The next day we traveled to Portland, ME. The highlight of this stop was probably Shipyard Brewery. We went there for a beer tasting & I'm not a beer fan whatsoever, but they had the most scrumptious pumpkin beer. It was like someone took all the best things about fall & bottled it up. We then went & had lunch near the water (surprise). We each got chowdah, Nate got the seafood & I got the clam; both were delicious!
Monday we headed to Freeport, ME to see the L.L. Bean store; it's massive! It was a really cute town to visit & shop. Later that day we made our way to Bar Harbor, ME which was essentially our destination. Maine is definitely a beautiful state if you like the outdoors. We hiked Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park & as far as you could see there was water & shoreline. The park was packed, & I mean packed, the first day we went. We went back the next day & the weather wasn't the greatest, but the crowd was much better! It was super windy at the top of the mountain that day, but it was neat to see all of the clouds swirling around us! We also went for a run along the shoreline, which was great since it made a run enjoyable for once (at least for me). We had lobster our last night there because obviously we couldn't go to Maine & not have lobstah. The one unfortunate thing about this trip is... we didn't see a moose.
(Yes, we camped & it actually wasn't too bad...)
(The water was wayyyyy too cold to get in)
We traveled home the following day because my whole family came for a visit to go to a Washington Nationals game. It was a great time since we were all together and the Nationals won!
(My mom wanted a photo of us, apparently we are incapable of smiles.)
Hope you all had a great weekend! :)
