Enjoy the Simple Pleasures! Boothbay Harbor, Maine, is one of our favorite summer destinations! The weather is beautiful, the food is fantastic, and there are always fun activities to enjoy. Our time in Maine consists of simple pleasures like canoeing, kayaking, exploring by boat, fishing, hiking, clamming, stargazing, and always making great memories. Every day is an adventure in Maine. Maine’s summer style is Unlike many of our trips, where we have a specific itinerary, our time in Maine is very laid-back and unstructured. Our activities depend on the tides, the weather, and the interests of our guests. Depending on the tide, we might hop in the boat and go to a farmer’s market or take the boat out for a lobster roll at a local flip-flop friendly restaurant. We do have some favorite activities. Here are some of our recommendations: Jumping off the bridge at a local swimming hole in Damariscotta Mills Watching the lobster trap races at the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland Relaxing on the water in a kayak, canoe, or boat Hiking local mountains like Mt. Washington or Mt. Katahdin Sampling and finding the season’s best lobster roll Picking blueberries and making blueberry jam Enjoying homemade ice cream at the Down East Ice Cream Factory Taking the boat to Bath for the farmers market or shopping for basics at Reny’s Going clamming and making chowder Solo Pane Pasticceria in Bath is the best local bakery for bread with your chowder Checking out the local breweries and oyster farms such as Glidden Point Watching gorgeous sunsets from the dock on the Back River Browsing through nearby stores, like Nest in Brunswick or Reny’s in Bath One of our absolute favorite traditions is having a lobster-fest on the back deck with the whole gang. We hope you have an opportunity to host your own lobster-fest in Maine. Whether you are able to host one in Maine or in your own backyard, here are our recommendations (shown below) for a successful party. We suggest visiting Maine and creating your own memories! We’ve enjoyed exploring all over the state, from Acadia National Park to Moosehead Lake and all across the Downeast. It’s a beautiful part of the country, especially during the summer. If you have the opportunity and are looking for some cooler summer temps and relaxing fun, embrace Maine’s summer style and plan a visit!

Celebrating the 4th…
A Fun and Festive Tradition The Fourth of July is all about celebrating, community, and appreciating the freedoms this country affords us. It’s the day we celebrate the USA’s birthday and think about what makes each of our communities so special. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on Earth.” This quote is a great reminder that being patriotic means believing in freedom and equality for everyone. Every year, we dive into all the fun activities that make this holiday memorable. In years past, we have participated in local parades, where everyone came together to show their patriotic spirit. We have hosted backyard barbecues, gone to a Charlotte Knights baseball game or spent the long weekend at the beach. However you choose to spend the holiday, hanging out with friends and family is a must. If your hosting an event, be prepared with our hosting essentials guide. And, of course, we can’t miss the fireworks! Watching the sky light up and oohing and ahhing at the display is a magical way to end the day. These all-American activities remind us how lucky we are to live in a country that provides us with so much freedom. Celebrating the Fourth of July is more than just a day off; it’s a chance to be grateful for all the opportunities we have. It’s a time to hang out with friends and family, celebrate our country’s heritage, and appreciate the freedoms we enjoy. So, this Independence Day, let’s take a moment to think about what freedom really means. Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come and keep working towards freedom and equality for everyone. Get your loved ones together, enjoy the fun, and soak in the unique spirit of America. Happy Fourth of July!
