Exploring Kennebunkport with R&V

Thursday, after surviving Boston, we headed back up the coast toward Kennebunkport.  We discovered that liquor was cheap in New Hampshire, so Dennis had wanted to stop and check it out for himself.  Come to find, out the Canadian Club Whiskey that Dennis is currently drinking was very much worth the stop.  What had cost $42 in Canada was priced there at just $14.99.  Crazy, huh?!  So you bet he stocked up!  Good thing we have a truck, right!  Just Kidding, he only bought a few bottles.

Michael's Harborside Restaurant. Nice view!

Back on the road, we decided to stop for dinner in one of the small towns along the southern coast of Maine.  We found this cute waterfront restaurant called Michael's Harborside in Newburyport, so Veronica could try her first-ever Lobster Roll.  I think the vote is still out on whether it was good or not.  It seems there are two types of Lobster Rolls; The ones served cold with mayo and the ones served warm with butter.   I think she was expecting the warm kind but come to find out, that's not the Maine way of serving them.

On Friday, we explored downtown Kennebunkport.  We started out the day having breakfast as this small but popular restaurant called Salt & Honey.  With a name so close to R&V's own store, Milk & Honey, of course, we had to try it.  Afterward, we walked around town for a bit then drove by the Bush's compound on our way out.

Pier 77 in Kennebunkport, Maine

For lunch, we went just around the corner from the campground to Pier 77.  There is a small lighthouse off in the distance and a couple of restaurants.  However, parking the dually was a bear as always.

Drinks at Lobster Beach House while watching the sunset.

 

Afterward, we headed down to Ogunquit and checked out a few more shops, sat and watched the surfers in the ocean, and then had drinks at the Lobster Beach House while waiting on the sun to set.

We finished up the day with dinner at Federal Jacks back in Kennebunkport.  I kinda feel like we ate and drank our way through the whole day.  But hey, when you're in port, it's vacation time!

On Saturday morning, we headed up to Portland to take R&V to the jetport.  We stopped in Biddeford for a quick breakfast at Biscuit and Company.  I first thought $7 was high for just a biscuit, but the thing was huge and delish!  A must stop if you are in the area.

Since we still had a little time before their flight left we decided to check out Cape Elizabeth lighthouse while we were in Portland.   Even though we couldn't get real close to the lighthouse from this viewpoint, the rocky shoreline was well worth the stop.  A perfect ending to a great visit.  We look forward to more visits from my wonderful sons and their families during our time on the road.
