Last post focused on Boston. Then we took a nice drive up the coast stopping in Portland for two nights. We then drove across the farmland north by Augusta towards Belfast and up to Bar Harbor. The trip had typical Maine weather from fogged and rainy in Portland to pure sunshine and glory in Bar Harbor.

We took a side trip to an antique's barn called Elmer's. We heard about while in Portland. It was a pretty insane place. A front yard filled with what some would say was junk...but the barn held many fun treasures.
We also cooked a ton and ate off the land and sea in front of our house. It was so fun!
My husband might have more spots that I have forgotten but overall that's the adventure we had in New England.
So stay tuned for some more pre-baby posts!
