MAINE
The northeasternmost state in the US
Our experience in Maine is limited to the coastal town of Portland, but we could instantly see why this state was such a New England favorite! With a ton of nature, rugged coastlines, and, of course, delicious lobster, there's a ton to see and do no matter what time of year. Heck, bring your passport and you can even manage a day trip over to Nova Scotia while you're there!
There's something very relaxed and casual about Maine that has us wanting to go back. We loved the lighthouses of Portland, so we definitely want to see if we can tackle the rest that line Maine's coast (apparently there are 60!). Not to mention the numerous outdoor spots like Acadia, Peaks Island, Rangeley Lakes, Mackworth Island, and more.
And, of course, we're excited to sample even more of Maine's delicious seafood - including the lobster!
