Anniversary Weekend

June 17, 2008 By Carole

Saturday was our 11th wedding anniversary and we headed up to Kittery, ME to celebrate. That might seem like a strange place to go but, you see, we spent our wedding night in Kittery and we’ve always meant to go back. The same bed & breakfast, Enchanted Nights, is in operation and with our anniversary falling on a weekend it just seemed like the timing was right for a return trip. Not surprisingly, we had a fabulous time.

We hit Portsmouth for lunch and were surprised to find a huge street festival in full swing. There were vendors and sidewalk sales and bands. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours. We had a delicious lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery and then headed to Kittery.

The B&B was just as beautiful as we remembered but we definitely upgraded our room this time. Whirlpool for 2, king sized bed, walk in shower for 2 and all the Victorian frou-frous you can imagine!

After we had enjoyed the whirlpool and, errr, relaxed for a bit we headed out for a walk to explore the area. I brought the camera along and took some shots.

Of pretty flowers.

And the public library.

We stopped on a drawbridge and spotted Warren’s Lobster House. Beer, mussels and lobster stew sure did hit the spot there. And on our walk back we stopped and got a pizza to bring back to the room.

We spent the rest of the evening enjoying the room, watching the DVD of our wedding/honeymoon, and just being happy together. We both agreed it was the best anniversary yet!

    A belated happy one to you both! For all the time I’ve spent in Maine I’ve never been to Kittery (except through it on the turnpike). This may bear investigating.

    Happy Anniversary! If it weren’t your anniversary, I’d be asking why you were so close to me and didn’t visit 😉

    I didn’t even realize that it was Market Square Day (not that it matters, way too many people for me)!

    I’m glad you had a nice Anniversary weekend.
