Hello everyone!
This spring break could not have come at a better time!
The weather is gorgeous, David hasn't had a break from work since July, and I was also ready for a break from Boston. While I love the pace of life at this point in Boston, it gets so busy that we hardly ever have time to relax and just spend time as a couple anymore. This is probably also why I never blog anymore.. it's hard to find the time to sit down and blog, and when I do, it seems that all I've done is work haha
Anyway, since we had such a good time in Maine last year at Acadia National Park, we decided to try Maine again for our getaway! Acadia is a little far (about 6 hours from Boston with rest stops) so we settled on Camden, Maine with stops in Portland!
As soon as we landed in Portland, we made a beeline to Holy Donut, my favorite donut shop! We tried 3 flavors last time when we fell in love with this place, and this time we tried 3 different flavors.
My favorite was this dark chocolate coconut one, but the other one, mocha something..., was good too! haha
David said the old-fashioned was good with coffee, but as a non-coffee drinker, I wasn't as much of a fan =)
After having stuffed our tummies with donuts, we went for a stroll around town to burn some of it off before lunch haha
Our strolls lead us to the Portland Museum of Art, and we spent an hour or so browsing their collection. It was a pretty small museum, but it had some interesting works, and we had a good time!

The part that intrigued me the most was that the museum had a house as a part of its collection. It was owned by a wealthy merchant back in the day, and they had renovated and opened it up to the public as a part of the museum.
My favorite part was this staircase haha
They don't build staircases like these anymore!
Having decided that an hour of art museum stroll was enough to burn off 3 donuts, we headed off to find some lunch at the Green Elephant.
A little vegetarian Asian fusion to kick off the next part of our road trip! =)
With full bellies, we headed north to Camden, Maine, where some winter hiking and a lovely stay at the Hartstone Inn awaited us.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are having a wonderful day!
