Time flies when you’re having fun – this is never more true than when you’re on vacation.
We just got back from a week away to Kennebunkport, Maine and Boston – it was so fantastic.
As I’m currently under a pile of laundry and unpacking, I’ll leave you with some highlights for now:
- The 5yo lost two teeth during the trip – one in Maine and one somewhere in the car on the way home (tooth is still M.I.A.).
- The 8yo decided that “smiling with teeth is stupid” and refused to smile in most pics – the ones he is smiling in required bribery on my part. I’m ok with that.
- Going to a beach on a windy, cloudy day DOES NOT MEAN you don’t require sunscreen. Worst burn ever doesn’t even begin to cover it.
- There are no freakin’ bugs in Maine – seriously, not a single mosquito was seen during our entire trip – it was HEAVEN!!!
- Peeing “in da ocean is amazing.”
- There is NO Starbucks in Kennebunkport. I repeat, NO STARBUCKS.
- Watching my husband rediscover his love of taking pictures was absolutely a highlight.
- Having said husband take the same pic I would take with my camera because he had the “better camera”…. not a highlight.
- $3 cupcakes are overrated.
- Only in Boston can you stand next to a giant noodle. Yeah, I’m still confused by this one myself.
More to come!

Boston and Maine are a dream vacation for me! Glad to be able to live vicariously through your trip.
Where was the giant mac and cheese noodle?
We’ve stayed in Biddeford, ME, before (not far from Kennebunkport) and there were TONS of mosquitoes. I think you got lucky!
The giant mac & cheese sculpture was in Quincy Market in Boston. I still have no idea why that’s there.
I laughed so hard at the part about the missing tooth. Absolutely hysterical!
