Hartstone Inn Happy Hour
7 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Had a lovely drive from New Hampshire to Camden Maine. beautiful scenery. Got settled into our hotel room, took a quick look around town and got back in time for the inn’s happy hour.

A delicious cranberry limoncello martini for me, Brian’s traditional martini for him and and a crostini with feta and balsamic. Brian’s with lobster. Mine without.

Sat next to a couple from Marietta who live not too far from Laurie and John. Small world.En savoir plus

40 Paper
7 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
With only a snack for lunch we’re starving. Headed to an Italian restaurant recommended by our inn for dinner as the church across the street chimes the hour.

FROM 40 PAPER
"We are a traditional Italian restaurant serving hand-made pasta, but our menu also features modern culinary influences from Spain, France and the surrounding Mediterranean countries. Our dining room is warm & intimate, but our spacious bar is one of the most popular in the area. We are both traditional & experimental; loud & quiet; fun & romantic."En savoir plus

Maiden Cliff Trail
8 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Beautiful 3 mile (ish) hike to the cliffs overlooking Lake Megunticook. A well marked trail with lots of steep climbs and scrambles over outcroppings but the payoff at the overlook was well worth the effort. We took the Scenic Overlook Trail loop on the way back which took us over even MORE climbs and scrambles, but as before, stunning views all around.En savoir plus

The Lobster Shack
8 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Needed a wee bite to tide us over to dinner. Headed to Rockland to the Lobster Shack, a very charming outdoor eatery. I got a yummy bowl of split pea soup with cornbread and Brian got the “Can’t come to Maine and not have at least one” lobster roll. It came with cole slaw, chips and dilly green beans.En savoir plus

Happy Hour The Sequel
8 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Once back from Rockland, we soaked for a bit in the jacuzzi tub before freshening up and heading back out for the inn’s happy hour. Although I was tempted by the blueberry gin fizz, I decided to go with the Cranberry-Limoncello Martini again. Why tempt fate. The appetizer was a lobster quiche. Brian enjoyed both of them.En savoir plus

Breakfast
9 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Only at the Hartstone Inn do you order your breakfast and get a complimentary first course. Today it was a baked pear ona thin slice of pistachio pound cake with a drizzle of creme anglaise. Brian had the poached eggs with a red pepper cream sauce. I had the Maine blueberry cream cheese skillet pancake with cumin dusted bacon. Off to walk Camden before checking out and exploring and meandering our way back to Portland.En savoir plus

L.L. Bean
9 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Felt like we couldn’t come to Maine, and not go to the L. L. Bean store in Freeport Maine. However, having been 10 years since our last visit, we come to find out that it is now the L. L. Bean “compound.” They even have a site map. 😳

We perused some walking sticks which were wanting for our hikes and made sure to see “The Final Charge” taxidermy moose as well as the Bootmobile before heading on to Portland.En savoir plus

Morrill Mansion B&B
9 septembre 2019, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
En route to Portland we realized that we had booked a hotel for the next two nights in Portland, OREGON instead of Maine. Eeeeeeeek!

After canceling our reservation (with a little sweet talking on Brian’s part to waive any penalty for it being at such notice), we scrambled to find a spot.

Brian ended up finding an opening in a lovely B&B the Morrill Mansion. Since we were booking at the last minute we got a reduced rate, the “baked bean” special. Why was it given the moniker “baked bean” you ask ? Well as it turns out this
1800's era Italianate mansion was once the private home of Charles Morrill, the co-founder of B&M beans.

Now that we’ve settled in we’re going to head out and take a nice walk to a recommended dinner spot.En savoir plus
