(NOTE: CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE)After touring Ogunquit in the morning, we drove south to Kennebunkport, Maine, and explored that town. Before leaving though, we had to fill up on Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and when I pulled into the drive through, I had to look twice, because the trash can had an extended chute, and looked like it may be where you speak into to place orders!
Kennebunkport was a quaint little town surrounded by water, just like Ogunquit. They had a great dog store there that had everything (although I can't remember the name of it). Here's a photo of part of the downtown area.
It was still cold that day, only reaching 54F, with wind chills still in the 40s, so we were bundled up here in front of the welcome sign for the town.
"THE WEDDING CAKE HOUSE" - A plaque placed at the side door of the George W. Bourne House in Kennebunk, Maine by the Maine Society, Daughters of American Colonists, tells us that "In 1825 the shipbuilder George Washington Bourne (1801-1856) brought his bride, Jane, to this new brick Federal-style home. Inspired by Milan's Gothic Cathedral, Bourne started the house decorations in 1852, using only hand tools. He completed the work shortly before his death. By century's close, the name "Wedding Cake House" was widely applied.
Of course I had to give Tom a smooch in front of the Wedding Cake House!
