our trip to maine


I have lots of catching up to do. Calder and I went to Maine a few weeks ago for my cousin's wedding. It was a quick trip, only 3 nights, but what a wonderful time we had! It was Calder's first plane trip too, and it was full of surprises to say the least. BUT, I did have a blast with my girl and she was such a little trooper. I love spending quality time with her like that, even if it's on a broken plane in the runway for a few hours or delayed flights at the airport. 

I promised my mom (and my Aunt Bev) that I'd blog about our weekend trip to Maine, so this post is for you!


The first morning we were there it was cold (especially compared to Mobile heat that is) and very foggy, so we sported our colorful PJ's on the beach for an early morning walk with grandaddy. That little walk cracks me up! And her "bam-bam" hairdo is a result of a fit she pitched when I tried to put it up...so that was the best we could do!

How sweet is this photo? Those two, I swear, have the sweetest little relationship.

And then it magically cleared up, despite all bad weather forecasts, a blue sky appeared. Don't you just love when that happens?

We stayed at this adorable bed & breakfast (see below) right on the beach. I just LOVE Kennebunkport. See this post about our recent trip to Kennebunkport for my other cousins wedding, Ben. Aunt Bev has 3 boys and their wedding's have been back to back years, so we've been spoiled with several fun trips to Maine. On a side note: My aunt Beverly owns the most amazing shop, Antiques on Nine. See this post for details. If you haven't been — you must visit this adorable town some time!


The rehearsal dinner was truly magical. It was at Bev and Jon's house—and was such a perfect celebration of Will and April. The lobster rolls were out of this world, and every detail was so creative and thoughtful — just like the groom and his bride. I wish I took more pics, but I was busy chasing this little girl around in her lobster dress!



Dad was our babysitter for the weekend and he left early with Calder so she could go night-night, and the girls stayed up and drank wine and talked!




I just love my cousin Katherine. We had a great time catching up and I just wish Mobile and Nashville were closer together!



Having fun with the groom, Will

And here we are on our way back home. Such a short trip but worth every minute it took to get there...and then some! Calder had the biggest crush on this precious boy at the airport. Thank you for entertaining her for so long!


And thanks for all of the memories, Main! Until next time...

Weekend in Maine

Happy Monday everyone! We went to Kennebunkport, Maine for my cousin's wedding last weekend and it was  B E A U T I F U L.

I'm busy catching up with work today but had to share some of the photos from the weekend.

The Colony hotel was amazing.

 

My aunt Beverly is so creative (click here to see her fabulous antique shop) and her little touches were everywhere this weekend...
 
The Rehearsal dinner was a casual lobster bake. yummmm
 
And we couldn't be in town and not visit my Aunt's shop, Antiques on Nine. See this post for more photos and info on her shop. It's definitely worth a trip!





 
 
I loved this little bench.

I bought one of these bowls and carried it all the way home with me on the plane. That is love.
Half of the gang in front of Aunt Bev's shop :)

We spent the rest of the day at the Colony pool—which was not too shabby!:)

Dad and I went on a walk before the wedding and I took these pics. The Maine coast really is so beautiful.


The Bush Family plantation is only a mile away, and this is the church they attend. Just a random tidbit of info in case you're interested:)


I can't believe I don't have a picture with the bride and groom. Caitlyn and Ben are such an adorable couple and we loved celebrating with them!


love my cousins!

Bruner sent me this picture of Calder and I was dying to get back to them!! And in case you're wondering, I had some free time in the airport (3+ hour layover) so I became a little obsessive over my new camera app (Camera+). Hense the photo effects in this post!
Such a quick trip but so glad I went and loved spending time with family. And no matter how amazing the trip was, the best part was coming home and being greeted at the airport by my little Calder-bear!
Hope everyone has a wonderful week and it feels like fall today in Mobile! Definitely going to get outside and enjoy it!
