The Kennebec

This past weekend, we traveled back to Maine! We were headed to a small town called Jackman, that is so far north, it is only 15 minutes away from Canada. It took us about 8 hours to get there, with all of our stops at Sonic, WalMart, Target, McDonalds, and numerous gas stations. (We really needed tissues and water shoes - and Sonic!) Our awesomely fun friend, Lisa was brave enough to make the trek with us!

We stopped for dinner in an unknown town in Northern Maine. At this point, we were still over an hour from our destination. Our trip was long. Anyways, once we got to Jackman, we were greeted pleasantly by a beautiful cabin! 

The next morning, we woke up bright and early, ate some yummy breakfast casserole that I failed to take pictures of, and headed to the Windfall Outdoor Center. We were ready for a day of whitewater rafting on the Kennebec! It was a glorious day. Our guide Aaron made the trip a blast! We also got to know Kate, who helped us make our reservation, and she was a lot of fun too!

Aaron and Kate recommended we eat at The Bigwood Steakhouse for dinner. It used to be a house, and is now the most popular restaurant in Jackman.

It was BYOB, which we loved!

After our giant dinner, we headed back to the cabin, started us a campfire, and made some s'mores. Yum!

On Sunday morning, Lisa had to leave us before the sun came up, but we had a fun day exploring Maine on our own. Our drive home began with our exploration of Moxie Falls. It was beautiful!

Then we learned we were traveling down Old Canada Road, and enjoyed the scenic views.

We stopped in Augusta for a view of the capitol building.

We tasted wines at Blacksmiths Winery. They were delicous.

And we ended our day back at Bennett's in Kennebunkport. The perfect ending to a perfect weekend.
