Maine was long the lone state east of the Mississippi to which I had not been. In my immediate family, only my father had been to Maine (on a trip up to Canada to see a solar eclipse, if I remember correctly).
In 2009, my mother, sister, and I decided to check that state off. We planned a week in July, started in Portland, and drove up the coast in a rental car stopping at B&Bs along the way. It was seven days of lobster and gorgeous, rocky beaches.
Boothbay Harbor was my favorite stop. We stayed in a B&B atop a hill with a beautiful view of the harbor. On the 4th, we had the best seat in town for the fireworks display. The shops clustered around the harbor were straight from a painting – brightly-colored shutters and all.
From Boothbay we went whale watching in a boat called The Pink Lady. We were lucky and many whales breached closed to the boat. I remember looking at their long, glistening backs and understanding why cartographers once filled the oceans with monsters.

That trip sounds amazing, we once had a beer from Maine that made me want to go one day!

Sounds really sweet. We are thinking of doing a New England driving tour this fall, including Maine.

You definitely should! Maine was beautiful (and all of New England is in the Fall).
