Planning trip to Maine

I am on the last two weeks of maternity leave, so my husband insisted on a trip. We originally thought of Freeport and New Hampshire. Since we are so low on funds a shopping trip would not be as fun. And it would be six or seven hours in the car with an infant. So we hummed and hawed about finding a better solution. We wanted something close, cheap, and near water.

First, we booked a dogsitter for the week. Luckily, our neighbor's daughter loves dogsitting. I am sure getting paid adds to her love, but she is a sweet girl who does a great job. I find when we leave our dog in a kennel she tends to be more stressed out than if we have a neighborhood kid watch the dog.

So finally we decided that we are going on vacation to Bar Harbor and Bangor, Maine. I trusted Trip Advisor for their recommendation on Hotels in Maine. I really want one with a pool since Keira loves the water. I love vacations and time with my husband away from routine. It is really worth all the planning.
