Although it doesn't seem it, the summer months are right around the corner. When the sun is beaming everyday and the weather gets warmer, there is no doubt that New England is a beautiful place to spend May through August. Most can say they've travelled New England's seacoast, but there is still a never ending list of places that will always need exploring. Regardless if you have been to these cherished locations or not, here is the ultimate summer bucket list stretching from Maine to Rhode Island.

Starting in Maine ...

1. Travel up north to Bar Harbor, Maine.

2. Take a boat tour in Boothbay Harbor.

3. Take pictures with the L.L. Bean boot in Freeport.

4. Eat dinner in Portland's Old Port district and then make a pitstop in Cape Elizabeth to see the lighthouse.

5. Wander along the pier in Old Orchard Beach.

6. Scope out the Bush compound on Walker's Point in Kennebunkport and then visit The Wedding Cake House in Kennebunk.

7. Get to The Steakhouse in Wells at 3 p.m. just so you can be seated when it opens for dinner time. There will already be a line to get in, but if you get in late, it's still worth the wait.

8. Mosey along the ocean on Marginal Way in Ogunquit and enjoy Perkins Cove.

9. Eat lots of salt-water taffy from The Goldenrod in York.


Next stop: New Hampshire ...

10. Take a cruise to the Isles of Shoals before taking a stroll through Portsmouth's downtown area. Stop at Popovers for some Portsmouth Orange Cake.

11. Take in all of the peacefulness along Rye Beach.

12. Grab some Cristy's pizza and watch the fireworks on Hampton Beach.

Cross the border into Massachusetts ...

13. Explore Castle Rock in Marblehead.

14. Take your time walking through the quaint little shops of Rockport.

15. While waiting in the Cape's traffic, grab a sweatshirt from Cuffy's in West Dennis.

16. Snap some photos of the gingerbread cottages in Martha's Vineyard.

End in Rhode Island...

17. Join in on a tour of the Newport Mansions.

Where to next?

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
