This past weekend I went to York, Maine for a girls weekend. I went with my mom, aunt and cousin. We stayed at the Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham in York. We planned to scrapbook, see the sites and shop. This was an awesome central location for us. The York area also provides a ton of family friendly activities.
We visited some of the major sites in York; Long Sands Beach, Nubble Lighthouse, Short Sands Beach and the Cliff Walk. We also went shopping at the Kittery Outlets and drove into Portsmouth, New Hampshire to do some shopping in the vicinity of the mall.
