The other day on the news there was a story of a Duck Boat that sank in Branson, Missouri, due to a storm. The last I heard 17 people drowned. I am so sorry for the victims of this accident, and the families who lost loved ones. A tourist town, a fun bus/boat ride, and tragedy. It's unthinkable.
For those of you who didn't read my last post, it was about our family vacation and going on a Duck Boat ride.
Monday in Maine we woke up to yummy Holy Donuts. They are somehow made with potatoes, and they are good. I think I'm going to practice making donuts so I can make these...or just order some!
Thank you Theresa and Trent for the donuts!
And today we visited Kennebunkport!
If you've never been to Kennebunkport, it is obviously a port/harbor town. It is also a quaint little shopping town.
And it has benches so boys can sit quietly and behave while girls shop!
When we crossed the bridge, Robert showed us where his Grandparents started their boat building business and their home, and poor him, he had to go to Kennebunkport every summer and stay with them.
It looks good on you Pa!
On the way back to the beach house we stopped at an area where we could walk out on these rocks.
We walked pretty far out, but we didn't want to climb up to the next level, as you can see in the picture below. You can tell it's a little higher up than it looks from the people sitting beside it.
then we took a drive by the Senior George Bush's summer home! Yes, as in Barbara and President!
Not too shabby, huh!
I think it would be fun to stay here at Christmastime! An Inn right in Kennebunkport.

What a cute little town. We've never been to Maine except for a brief layover on our way back from Europe years ago. Love the photo of your Dad holding your Mom's purse.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. We're hoping to visit New England in a few years and this was on my pinterest board of places to visit. No it's on the definite list. Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, Ted and I have been to Kennebunkport. Walked the beaches. It was very windy when we were there. We saw the Bush compound. Our guide explained about the flags flying .If all three flags were on the mast, the Bushes were in. They always have security. Your father looks pretty snappy with that purse. Tell him not to make a habit of it. LOL. Blessings to you, hope things are looking up. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI always love your road trips.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip! We went there but just drove around. Don't know why we didn't get out and walk around unless it was too foggy. Now I wish we would have! Nancy
