Vacationland

There is a reason that every Maine license plate says "vacationland" at the bottom- this place is a hoot! After hunting down a lobster roll (didn't have to look too hard) we hung out at the pool and watched the lobster boats return to the harbor then explored the town via kayak. After a great sunset, we headed down the road to Olgunquit which is a bit of a party town! Luckily the bars close at 1am so we had no problem waking up for the huge free hotel breakfast and our 10:30am lobster boat excursion. We pulled in a trap and helped measure the lobsters (most were too small to keep) and learned a ton about the lobster trade. I now can tell the difference between male and female lobsters, and did you know that they can regrow any part of their body except their eyes? (they often lose a claw when fighting with other lobsters).
At $119/night (regularly $350) this was an amazing steal! I love Maine and will definitely come back to Kennebunkport
