Birthday Getaway!

Well, it has become sort of tradition since we have been married to go on a last hurrah or vacation right around my birthday. Being here in Connecticut, there are an abundance of things that we want to see. I have always wanted to go to Maine so we took a quick trip up there for two days. We stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast and enjoyed the scenery. Here are some pictures from our trip. The town we went to is called Kennebunkport (what a mouthful, huh?!).

The rocky coast of Maine. Isn't it beautiful?!

Me at the Franciscan Monastery. There was one in Kennebunkport and we enjoyed walking on the beautiful grounds there.

The houses through the haze are the Bush compound. It is the summer home of former President Bush. We didn't get a great view of the house because it was so foggy.

Our sand castle - we had a great time making it

This is the first one we built (Sand castle mark 1) being engulfed by water. Soon after it flooded, we moved further away to build our castle.

We had a fun and relaxing time. It was nice to get away for a couple of days. I had always wanted to go to Maine. I had heard it was beautiful and it truly was. I want to go back again sometime!
