* Reid State Park in Georgetown, Maine

Happy Official First Day of Winter!!! I know I just posted snowy goodness on Morse Mountain, and I still wish for the white stuff to dump, but I can't help but still equally love summer in Maine. Reid State Park in Georgetown, Maine so gorgeous that I had to keep this many photos in my edit! The waves and undertow are strong; lifeguards were on duty. There is plenty of beach to relax on and hot sand to sink your toes into (I nearly burned the skin off mine this day!). I love how the dunes rise above your head and the rocks fall right into the ocean. If you need a place to stay, the Pryor House bed & breakfast is in nearby Bath, Maine. It is absolutely adorable and serves up a delicious family-style breakfast in the morning. Bath has a nostalgic feel to me with a plethora of antique shops to peruse. So add Reid State Park and the Pryor House to your To Do List for next summer -- you won't regret it.

A little pool on the opposite side of the dunes where the kiddos can safely wade in the water.

My new beachfront property!


On a brief break from frantically digging holes in the sand like a honey badger. This kid was on a mission.

Bring your lunch to enjoy the seaside picnic table area with amazing views of Sheepscot Bay.

* Morse Mountain in Phippsburg, Maine

Can you believe it is December, only days away from Christmas?! I am craving snow and winter hiking like this during a storm at Morse Mountain in Phippsburg, Maine. The trail ends at the beautiful Seawall Beach, though breeds some killer horse flies! At low tide you can attempt to wade across the river to Popham Beach State Park, just to the northeast. "

"The Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area is a nature preserve managed by Bates College for environmental research and education. The 500+ acre conservation area fronts over a mile of stunningly beautiful beach and dunes."
