The weekend could not have gone better! There was a lot of relaxing, cell phones were in the off position and watches were properly stowed away! There was no TV.
We had found the resort online and we were heading to an area of Maine that we had not heard of. To say we were a little nervous would be an understatement. However, we could not have been happier. Upon arrival we were informed that our room had been upgraded. Picture if you will the resort in Dirty Dancing. Families have been going there for over 25 years. People were chatting and catching up on things since they last saw each other. Meals were eaten together and you sat at mixed tables. It was fabulous!
As for the grounds, there was a heated saltwater pool, which is where I could be found at the end of the day. However this was after we sailed, and after we kayaked and in between the wonderful meals. Rinse & repeat for day 2! We did get a game of shuffle board & ping pong in, but the tennis racquets stayed in the car. I think we enjoyed the sailing and kayaking the most. The boyfriend is a navy officer and has taught sailing in the past. So we were able to take out our own little boat. We also walked into Boothbay Harbor, which is a beautiful little seaside village. While in town we did stumble upon The Bounty, which actually appeared in PoTC II. So naturally I thought of her!
The weekend was perfect, better than we had hoped for. I'm in La-La Land I tell you!!! We left after breakfast yesterday so that we could take our time getting home. We hit Freeport, ME and did some shopping. Then it was off to Kennebunkport to try to scope out GWB's summer retreat. Last but not least we hit Salem. I gave the boyfriend a quick tour of my old stomping grounds. We also did a little recon mission on the triathlon course. **Holy mother of Moses, that is in 3 weeks!** I have some catching up to do on the workouts missed this weekend. Today, an ocean swim!
So it's back to the real world today. That alarm clock went off way to early. A weekend recharge was great, but I'm already looking forward to another getaway!

Sounds like you had a blast! I always love going up to Maine...no matter where it is..there's just something about Maine that's so relaxing.
How far from Kennebunkport was Boothbay? Thanks for taking a picture or two for me!
