Travel the World Wednesday: Coastal Maine

Happy Travel the World Wednesday!  My husband and I just returned from an early anniversary vacation, and we definitely have a new favorite place.  We went to Cape Elizabeth, Maine (just south of Portland, Maine). Everything was so relaxing, peaceful, and just beautiful.  The very first day we were there I kept saying "I don't wanna leave!" I would for sure buy a summer home here if I ever could afford it!

So pack your bags, we're traveling to Coastal Maine!...

I loved putting this Maine Etsy treasury together because I found so many paintings and photographs of places we had just visited. This is a great collection of truly talented etsians, please feel free to click around the treasury as it is active!



And here are just a few photos from our vacation. Can you tell our little Meeko is our baby boy? We kinda like him a lot (and he just turned 5!)....

The path to our private beach, Crescent Beach

Portland Head Light, the most photographed lighthouse in the U.S.

Thanks for traveling with us today! Have you ever been to Maine? Have you ever been brave enough to visit in the winter?

    Meeko is just the cutest! I love Maine....have been going there my whole life and now I enjoy taking my children. My favorite place is New Harbor - so picturesque and the lobsters are the best!! I'm so flattered to have been included in your treasury. Thanks for including my Wild Lupine Earrings!

    I had the chance to go to Maine back in July 2001. I was in and around the Portland area too. And, no I am not brave enough for their winters. Maine is a beautiful state! I enjoyed it very much. Got your card BTW, and thank you buddy. I enjoy having a crafty friend to send/receive card to and from. :)

    Thank you for featuring my seaweed. You should visit the coast north of Portland - it is dramatic and rocky, with fewer sandy beaches.
