are you cheeky

I am baaaack from the wilds of Kennebunkport, Maine. We got in Friday evening and checked into our rooms at the Captain Lord Mansion, a three story B&B, with a crazy amount of patterned wallpaper, creepy oil paintings and animal figurines.



The place was lovely - very ornate. Our room was called "Ship Ophelia." The bed was so high that they gave us a step to get up to it.



We had a fairly low key dinner and went to sleep fairly early. The next morning we joined in the breakfast (stuffed french toast? Yes please) and headed out in the car. It was pretty foggy, but we stared at George and Barbara Bush's summer home from the road for a while Fun fact: G.W got his DUI right outside Kennebunkport. We were on the very street he no doubt drove down drunk! HISTORY.

We saw quite a few amazing houses, like the "wedding cake house"



We also drove along the water for quite a while. I got hit in the face with a bug when we were walking around but other than that it was lovely.


Anddd antiques (though I did not find anything)

There ended up being a mix up with the place we were staying, so Hunter's parents had to move to a different B&B down the street, which was fine because it was run by the nicest people ever with a cute dog. We moved their stuff over and eventually went out to a nice dinner at Hurricane, where everyone had some huge lobsters, I had the butternut squash ravioli. We were in a food coma in no time.

Today we had breakfast and went back past a few things that we saw yesterday, now that they were unfogged.


The Bush compound! It is an amazing piece of land with several buildings out on this little peninsula. This is just the main house. It has 9 bedrooms.






Dinner was at Dali, which is between Hunter and I's apartments. Spanish tapas! Woo.

So I guess this weekend was mostly about eating, looking at houses and looking at water. And eating. These are some of my favorite things in life, so all is well. Next week is a lot of running I suppose.

Oh, and I'm going to Toronto for work.. for 7 hours.
