Back to Maine

“Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price.” –Steve Jobs

We're back in Maine, except for a drive through on our way to New Brunswick in 2019, we haven't spent any time here since 2016. We love Maine and it feels wonderful to be back. We're here this time with our family to spend a week relaxing and exploring the Camden area. 

On our way north we drove through the southern coastline of Maine. A place we didn't get to visit when we came on The Pearl. It's a beautiful, but very touristy area of Maine. We stopped to see the Nubble Lighthouse and then spent the day in Kennebunkport. Kennebunkport is a cute little coastal town. It was the summer home of President George H. W. Bush. It was first incorporated as Cape Porpoise in 1653.

An 'Anchor to Windward' As he was for our nation and world during four years of tumultuous and historic change, so, too, has Kennebunkport served, in the words of St. Paul, "as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast" to him. -presented by those who love him as much as he loves this special place

The house we've rented is called the Page House. It's an 1830’s era captain's cottage located in Rockport Harbor’s historic village. In the 1870s, the home belonged to the Talbot family. They owned a General store in town called Talbot, Rust & Gould, as well as a shipyard and a patent kiln in the harbor. In the 1950s, the home’s first floor was a Cantonese restaurant named the House of Hong. The House of Hong hosted many local luminaries and became a hang out for cast members from the classic film Peyton Place which was filmed in nearby Camden. Across three centuries, the house has welcomed artists, musicians and writers.
