My mom's family lives all over Maine, so growing up I spent most summers visiting there. If you haven't been, Maine is such a beautiful place with a lot of great places to visit and delicious food to eat. Here's a list of some of the wonderful sights, attractions, and food Maine has to offer!

1. Portland Head Lighthouse

The Portland Head Lighthouse is one of many lighthouses scattered all around Maine. Visiting gives you a view you can't beat and an opportunity for some beautiful pictures!

2. Old Orchard Beach

Maine has so many miles of coastline, so visiting any beach is a must. Old Orchard Beach is a beautiful location that many tourists come to for a relaxing beach day.

3. Amato's Sandwiches

If you have never had an Italian sandwich, you are missing out. If you've never had an Italian sandwich from Amato's, you haven't lived. Hands down, Amato's has the BEST Italians out there. This is definitely one of the things I most look forward to when I visit.

4. Downtown Freeport

Downtown Freeport is so much fun. I mean, it has LL Bean, what else do you need? There are great food places, lots of shopping places, and the giant Bean Boot to take a picture with. Plus, they even have Food Truck Fridays!

5. Rococo Ice Cream

If you're looking for an ice cream place with different flavors than your usual chocolate and vanilla, Rococo is a great place to start! They have a lot of really interesting flavors, like Goat Cheese Blackberry, Strawberry Habanero, and Sweet Avocado Cayenne. Definitely something to try!

6. The Causeway in Naples

The Causeway on Sebago Lake is a quaint little boardwalk, perfect for walking and getting some fresh air. The Songo River Queen takes passengers around the lake, or kayaks and other water toys are available to rent for the day. It's a beautiful spot to visit!

7. Lobster

Maine is best known for their lobster, so it had to make the list. If you can get it fresh, don't miss the opportunity! Maine lobster is a 'must have' for seafood lovers.

8. Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor is farther up along the Maine coastline, but it is a beautiful place. The mountains and the water make a lovely scene to visit. I can almost feel the relaxation...

9. Moose

If you're lucky, you just might get to see a moose! They don't come out often, but they are really cool to see!

10. Fryeburg Fair

The Fryeburg Fair is the largest and most popular agricultural fair in Maine. Not only does it have animal shows, horse races, and rides, but it has DELICIOUS fair food. This is definitely something fun to check out if you're looking for a fair!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
