Maine's Small Capital of Beer & Seafood

Back in December Greg and I took a Spontaneous Trip (my all time favorite way of vacationing) to Portland to spend some quality time together. The months before December were filled with all sorts of shenanigans. As many of you know, Greg took a new position in Wisconsin, and therefore a move was before us. It was a quick process as Greg put in a weeks notice, and I put in a four-week notice. Between packing, moving, flying to Arizona, celebrating the last fling before the ring, thanksgiving, weddings, and just trying to breathe, Greg and I were DESPERATE for some relaxation. And you ask, "Why Travel? Isn't that stressful in itself?" I would have to say, "No, it was exactly what the doctor ordered." We did absolutely nothing together and it was great. We spent the vast majority of those four days in Portland walking, eating delicious seafood, drinking East Coast brewed beer and cider, and looking at the Ocean from our hotel room. And here are a few pictures to prove that we did absolutely nothing other than enjoy what was before us.

We got a puppy who has since grown 6xs as big and has forever changed my life.



I had Sister time.



I spent many Thursday nights drinking beer and watching Greg kick butt in Ultimate.

I consumed all the seafood & Allagash I wanted in the course of one long weekend in Portland, ME.

I hopped on flights destined for Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and Maine.

I fell in love with winters again.


I went out in Indianapolis for a night on the town and didn't spend a single cent, but I'll remember it forever.

I climbed a 14,000 foot mountain in holey jeans.

I went on my first and probably last sleigh ride.

I spent countless days with beautiful children.

And I mean BEAUTIFUL.

I went to my sister-in-laws fabulous wedding.

And had lots of fun.

And practiced taking pictures.

I went on numberous hikes with my best buds.

And most importantly I loved everyone who

shared a piece of it with me.
