Fall in Kennebunkport, Maine- Cape Arundel Inn

-

Recently we made a trip up to Kennebunkport, Maine to enjoy a fall weekend getaway. Located about thirty minutes south of Portland, Kennebunkport is just a short trip from Boston.

Upon our arrival Friday night, we had dinner at The Burleigh. Both the atmosphere and food were amazing. 





From there, we went to check into our room. We stayed at the Cape Arundel Inn at one of the Rockbound Bungalows.  Our room were located just a few hundred yards from the ocean and featured amazing sunrises with oceanfront views.  The room was spacious with a gas fireplace, patio and huge bathroom.



The daily breakfast was the perfect way to start our day. We fueled up on some delicious food while watching the wave crash against the rocks.

During the morning we went for a walk down Ocean Road where the hotel is located. The road runs right along the ocean and offers beautiful sites of the main coastline including former President, George Bush's Summer home.








Afterwards we walked around Dock Square where you'll find many local shops, restaurants and boats everywhere.





As we were leaving Kennebunkport, we stopped at the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge.  This was a short hour-long loop trail that winded through the woods and marshlands of Maine.






For one final destination en route home, we stopped at Mountain Agamenticus. It was an easygoing 30-45 minute hike to the summit with great views of the ocean to the east and mountains to the west.

With Fall in full swing, it's an amazing time of year to visit the Maine coastline!

Snorkeling at Baby Beach- San Nicolas, Aruba

-

Baby Beach is a great day-trip to make if you've rented a car in Aruba. It’s located on the southern tip of the island in San Nicolas.  Baby Beach gets its name from the tranquil cove of water that surrounds the beach being so calm that even young children are safe to swim in it. The drive down from the hotel area takes around 40 minutes. It’s a fun ride down stopping at the shops in Oranjestad or checking out one of the more local restaurants once you get south of the airport. Directions in Aruba are pretty easy to follow. There are only a few highway-type roads and because it’s a small island, you can usually find the water as a point of reference if you get off-route. Baby beach definitely has a unique look to it, as the rough ocean flows into a protected, horseshoe shaped cove where everyone swims around.  Because there are only a few hotels nearby, the beach has a local flair. However you’ll see plenty of tourists and guided tours as well. There are als

Wessagusset Beach- North Weymouth, MA

Although Summer is already over, we still enjoy going to the beach.  One of our favorite and also most convenient locations is Wessagusset Beach in North Weymouth.  The stone wall of the beach runs along Fort Points Road where you'll find a small cove, with parking as well.   The beach is relative small and very rocky, so you probably won't find yourself walking barefoot in the sand.  However it is the perfect beach to catch some rays, otherwise enjoy the sunset. With Wessagusset Yacht Club  close by, you will always see a few boats out in the water. Snapper Blue The beach is also an attraction for some fisherman with striper and bluefish along the shores.  But rumor has it that fishing has been slow this year. Our favorite part about this beach is that it faces west overlooking the Boston skyline.  So we've seen a few amazing sunsets and views from Wessagusset.  Here are some of many more to come!

Experiencing Boston Sky High- The Skywalk Observatory

In planning our weekend adventures, we often overlook the abundance of places we have yet to visit in one of America's largest and most historical cities, Boston, MA.  All too often we turn a blind eye to Boston's many amazing attractions while immersing ourselves in daily routines.  However, we found that being tourists in our own city, has lead to some of our best travel experiences!  That including our recent invitation this past weekend to tour Boston's only 360 degree view of the city skyline at the Skywalk Observatory . Located 52 floors up in Boston's Prudential Center , the Skywalk arguably has the city's most picturesque panoramas.  The observatory is open 7 days a week between 10 am and 8 pm (in the Summer it stays open later until 10 pm) with admission being $17 per adult.  We timed our visit for 4 pm so we could catch the sunset over the city.  Friends- Samantha and Jordan at the Skywalk Observatory Aside from just the views, th
