It only took us about 7.5 hours to get there.
Not bad considering the donut stop and multiple bathroom breaks thanks to my non-existent bladder.
BF and I packed up {I brought about 15 outfits for 4 days; BF brought a tiny bag for his week away from home} and headed out first thing Monday morning.
Our first stop was in Massachusetts. We went to Kanes Donuts, which I earlier discovered while drooling over watching an episode of something or other on the Travel Channel.
I’m not even a big donut eater. I mean, I can’t even remember the last donut I indulged in. But I like road trips with food destinations, so I thought, why not?
We bought a half dozen of their famous, hand-rolled little gems!
{Delish!}
After we got out of the Boston area, we drove to our hotel.
I’m not sure if I told you how I heard about this place. It was part of a getaway boutique on RueLaLa. The hotel is generally way out of budget. Way out of budget. But we got a really awesome deal.
Well, BF said on the way, “What if it is just like the Holiday Inn.”
I started to freak. Thinking, “Oh my gosh. What if it is??”
Well it definitely wasn’t.

Our room was incredible! I have never stayed in a five-star hotel before, and I’ve gotta say, I was extremely impressed. I would recommend the Inn By The Sea to everyone!
{I love this bed. True story.}
{I was taking a moment to just take it all in}
After we sat in shock and awe at our room got settled in, we went for a walk down to the beach. Yes, it was a bit chillier than we would have liked, but it was still incredible.

Even these first few moments in Maine were fantastic memories.
Next up, part two of our Maine trip!
Love it!
What a beautiful trip.I like blueberry cake donuts. These days I think it looks like I wear one around my waist. (LOL)
