The other day, I told a friend of mine that home is where you wish you were when you are somewhere else.
I guess I’m lucky in that I have two homes: Hawaii, and Maine. And I’m especially lucky that I live in at least one of them year-round. Maine is an incredibly peaceful, lovely place to live.
They don’t call it “Vacationland” for nothing.
Here are some of my own photos highlighting a few of the reasons why I love living in Maine…
The view down my driveway…
The ocean…
The beach after a storm…
Waffle Saturdays at one of my favorite little coffee shops, Seed & Bean
Taking the kids for ice cream at Goose Rocks Dairy after spending time at the beach
Walks on the beach with my hubby just after sunrise
Maine’s State Treat: Whoopie Pies!
Local farmstands
Critters along your driveway
Sunsets…
…and more sunsets.
Going to the beach to watch those sunsets
Everyday views–this one looking out the window of our favorite library
Driving along the coast of Maine–and all the gorgeous homes that you see there
Gardens…this one at St. Ann’s, Kennebunkport
Flowers from my own garden
Happy Aloha Sunday!
Great photos Karina. The sunsets are wonderful. I’ll take New England in general, at least north of the Mass. boarder, over pretty much anywhere else. The ocean is close, the mountains are close, what’s not to like.
