mrs. noternie and I went to Kennebunkport, Maine for a few nights this weekend. Highly recommend a visit if you get a chance. It's a great place to spend a day or two. There are some very good restaurants--from high end establishements to joints--there are some good local, independent shops to peruse, there are lighthouses and beaches to explore, even in the colder weather, and it's a quick run up to Portland or Freeport if you want to do that.
If you're not an invited guest of the elder Bush--and mrs. noternie and I certainly were not--you can still take Ocean Drive, stop on the paved shoulder and take a glance at the family manse on Walker's Point. They've added a windmill to the property, which continues a trend of the old man becoming more likable to me the older he gets.
Accomodations
King's Port Inn--In style it was half B&B and half motel. We had a B&B type room in the main house, that was appointed well with a CaliKing bed, double shower and jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was continental with optional waffles. Very good value within sight of town center.
Food
Allison's (bar and pub fare, good stuff)
The Ramp (joint, great steamed mussels in garlic broth)
Hurricane (upscale, leisurley paced yumminess)
More details if I get a chance, but I wanted to give the basic endorsement.
