Scrumptious breakfast made right in front of you by Monica & Rock of White Cedar Inn. This was my first time staying at a bed & breakfast and it was quite different from chain hotels. Our room was cozy and clean, but the best part was the food. Clockwise from top: Tuscan scrambled eggs w/ bacon and biscuits, chocolate cheesecake bites, blueberry rhubarb cobbler, apple pie pancakes with sausage.
Portland has tons of craft breweries. We did some tours & tastings but I was relegated to tasting strawberry pop because I forgot my ID. Sigh! For dinner we went to Gritty McDuffs, a brew pub. Clockwise from top: Steak tacos, pulled-pork over sweet potato fries and maple sour cream (I give this points for creativity), lobster mac n’ cheese (fantastic), fried Maine shrimp.
That looks like the perfect getaway trip! Definitely going to visit Maine someday, and a bed and breakfast definitely sounds cozy and romantic. Your friend may have a gift with the camera…I'm very impressed, too!
you guys are such a cute couple! how tall is your boyfriend?
Loved the food pr0n! New England B&B;'s must be very charming. Nice score on the hat. And I can't help myself– where is the belt from? 🙂
Love B&B;'s! Quite often they're even cheaper than hotels (not to mention, the rooms are more home-like).
Looks like a great time – food looks SO good.
Do you research local outlets whenever you travel, cause you seem to luck out and find them all the time 🙂
You know the couple shots look like engagement photos. 😉 So cute! Anyway all your food looks scrumptious. I emailed this post to my bf, we may take a trip up to Maine sometime though we can't make lobsterfest this yr, boo.
Awesome pictures! 🙂 Now I am craving some lob-stahh! You two should check out some bars in Portland next time you visit. The crowd is eclectic to say the least…I took pictures once with a bunch of long bearded, burly sea fishermen decked out in their fishing gear.
Jean! I love these pictures, especially the couple-shots! hehe, cute! Looks like you had tons of fun. I'm still in Quebec enjoying the Quebec city now. Beautiful city and beautiful weather today. Can't wait to share pictures. ttyl!
you guys always seem to eat at great places! very jealous.
The food looks incredible! Adorable couple shots too! 😉

Looks like such a fun time! You two make a beautiful couple 🙂
I bookmarked the lobster restaurant so that when Mike and I visit NE, we'll be able to try it!
The pictures are great! (food and couples!) Makes me want to travel to the East Coast so bad. Glad you had a great little vacation!

Awww 🙂 I love seeing these pics. Your friend is a skilled photographer, that is for sure 🙂
All the food looks delicious. I was milling over all the fried foods 🙂
Omg I'm drooling over the food! I love seafood!! And omg- are those CH aurora's? I have the green in sz 5 and the yellow in 5.5 (big but do-able). I lucked out at mine first time ever!
You and Nick are so precious! I hope you guys get married and have kids…hehhee you guys would make beautiful kids:-)
Hi Jean, may I know what camera you using?
i love the yellow shoes and the pictures. Thanks for sharing!
Jean, I think you got a "yellow fever" haha. But I have to say yellow does compliment well your skin tone, and it's perfect for the summer. I have been looking for a low-end yellow pump but still haven't been able to find the lemon yellow that I want.
I was going to comment about the food until I saw the photos of you and Nick. You two are absolutely ADORABLE! I love the steal that you got with those heels! 🙂
Yum yum! I love lobsters!
what fun pics! you guys look lovely together. $40 for Cole Haan?!? Im waiting to hear what Kelly has to say about this 😉
Ah!! I just ate dinner and dessert, but I totally want more food now that I saw all that! Lobster mac and cheese please!!
I love the new sling backs!! Nick's shoes are super cute, too!
Your friend did a great job with the pics!
Your trip looks like it was awesome.
Love the "couple" pics!

It looks like you had an amazing time and the food…THE FOOD! How do manage to stay so thin! Love your new Cole Haans!
Your trip looks amazing! Love the photos of you and the bf! 🙂 Super cute!!!!
