In just one week, my wife Jean and I will be traveling Rockland Maine to enjoy the fall weather, fall foliage and the beautiful rocky coast that only Maine offers. Rockland is located right on Penobscot Bay and within close proximity of Camden and Rockport Maine.
If you have never been in to this area is it nothing less than classic Maine. The last time we were here we stayed at Megunticook Campground which is right on the ocean and about half way between Rockland and Rockport. We spent our days walking through the shops of Camden and Rockland, getting coffee and sitting on benches at Camden Harbor watching lobsters being boiled and sold right out of the steaming hot stock pots. It was quite enjoyable and we are certainly looking forward to it again.
While in Rockport Maine one of the most famous cultural attractions is the Farnsworth Art Museum which boasts the Wyeth Center featuring the incredible works of 3 members of the Wyeth family including N.C., Andrew and James. It is truly amazing what artistic talent one family produced, so you sure don’t want to miss this exhibit.
The first part of our vacation will be spent in Bangor and then we will be off to Rockport for 4 nights staying at The Ledges By The Bay in an oceanview room. Look for more updates and pictures of our adventure on the vacation rentals blog here beginning sometime after October 9th. Jean has talked about getting up to Acadia National Park, but I don’t know if we’re going to make it as we do have a pretty busy schedule and yes, we do hope to have some time to relax.
