I’m definitely a city-slicker to the core, but every now and again it’s nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan for a short respite in a more idyllic setting. So this past Memorial Day weekend, Eric and I packed our bags for a quick road trip up the New England coast. Our destination: Bar Harbor, with a couple of fun stops along the way. One of my favorite diversions was the Portland Head Light, a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state and sits on a head of land at the entrance of the Portland Harbor.
Once there, we were treated to phenomenal views, and I couldn’t have asked for better weather with picture-perfect skies and not a cloud in sight. Before we piled back into our ride, we also made a beeline to a nearby food truck to stock up on two Maine staples: blueberry soda and whoopie pies!
Even though Memorial Day traditionally signals the unofficial start of summer, there was still a bit of chill in the air as we trekked up north. Luckily I stuffed my overnight bag full of easy, comfortable layers that I could mix and match (as well as peel on and peel off) during our trip. My long sleeve tee and stretchy ponte knit pants made for the perfect travel ensemble, and my nifty new boater hat and cheery red neckerchief helped pull the look together.
All in all we had a blast, and I can’t wait to share the rest of my adventure with you guys.
Thanks for reading!
