Kettle Cove

Although we live just steps away from one of the area’s most loved beaches, Willard Beach, making the trip over to Cape Elizabeth every once in awhile to visit Kettle Cove is one of our favorite things to do.

(not quite so in Maine yet), and we took full advantage of the flowers and cherry blossoms as we walked all around town. We were excited to try out a few restaurants that we’d read about online, and also stumbled upon a couple of spots by chance that we really enjoyed. 2Amys I had often read about 2Amys on Rockstar Diaries, and found myself … Continue reading Washington D.C.
