Bonnie’s Buzzing About Portland, Maine

I love this gorgeous East Coast city on the water, and I’m here to tell you why Portland, Maine is the main event!

The first thing you’ll want to do is explore Portland’s Historic District. Nicknamed “Old Port,” you’ll witness historic building facades, fishermen displaying their daily catches, and an abundance of shops and restaurants. There will be many opportunities for cruises and boat rides, too. If you’re feeling adventurous, visit the Casco Bay Islands off the coast, which are accessible by ferry year round, offering visitors beaches and island activities.

If you really want to treat yourself, you can book a Private Lighthouse Sightseeing Charter on a Vintage Lobster Boat. Pass by four different lighthouses while your Captain tells you all about Maine’s history. After your day in the sun, catch an orchestral show at the Merrill Auditorium. There’s so many fabulous cultural activities to do in Portland.

If you love theater like I do, check out who’s on the Portland Stage. There’s always a fabulous show to see! Also, you don’t want to miss the Portland Museum of Art, where you’re bound to see up and coming artists, as well as events and lectures.

So remember, whether you’re on a boat off the coast of the Casco Bay Islands, or attending an orchestra show for the evening, it’s all about style!

The Maine Event/Lobster and More Portland

Portland, Maine – one of the most beautiful spots to visit during the summer months. Cool and delicious!

You’re going to go for a boat ride on Casco Bay! There are wonderful ways to enjoy the Portland area, including sight-seeing tours that are aboard a vintage fire engine and fun for the entire family.

There are fabulous restaurants – the culinary scene is quite sophisticated. In the area of the old historic town, they probably have the freshest lobster in the United States.

As crazy as it may seem, they have a Wacky Adventure Walk Game that is for everyone of all ages and more fun than you can imagine. For the more serious minded, the Portland Art Museum has an excellent collection of Fine Art.

To top it all off, they have the Allagash Brewery, which has an incredible selection of beers. You can get a tour to see how it’s all produced, and get samples of various brews.

So whether you want to join me for some lobster in Portland, Maine, or you’re enjoying the steamy summer weather in West Palm Beach, remember, it’s all about style.

The Maine Stay: Bar Harbor

This week it’s all about Bar Harbor, also known as Mount Desert Island.

Home to 1500 foot Cadillac Mountain, it’s part of the Acadia National Park, and a place you definitely don’t want to miss if you’re traveling through New England or down the Maine coastline this summer.

In it’s heyday, this town was the premiere summer resort, and home to Millionaire’s Row. There was a line of summer estates including the Rockefellers, Vanderbelt’s and Ford’s, until they all burnt down in a huge fire in 1947.

Today, there’s fabulous hiking, old historic carriage roads to explore, and even rock climbing on the mountain if you’re the adventuresome type.

There are several local museums, but one of the more interesting ones is the Abbe Museum, where they have artifacts of the Wabanaki Indians, the original inhabitants of the area.

There seems to be an abundance of art galleries and local artists to boot. There is also a blossoming craft brewery scene, and fun activities like boating and fishing.

Don’t forget to try some of the freshest of Maine lobster and wild blueberries! They are abundant for picking on the side of the road.

Whether you’re exploring the rugged coastline of Maine wearing those cozy cashmere sweaters, or the sandy beaches of Florida wearing those soft lightweight cottons and linens, remember that it’s all about style.
