The Stratton Scrapbook : Stratton Sister's Weekend, Portland ME 2022

This June I was able to do a Stratton Sister's Weekend in Portland, Maine and it was such a great time! We ate lots (I mean LOTS) of delcious food, celebrated Jessie's engagement with a surprise sailboat ride, and enjoyed seeing lots of beautiful lighthouses. I feel so lucky to have married into a family with such kind and fun sisters and sisters who all enjoy each other's company. I am very blessed indeed!

We enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine on our last night there. It was a beautiful view of the water and boats anchored for the night.

Delcious pastries from a local bakery. Our Airbnb was so close we just had to walk one block over. Perfection!

Jessie and I got our lobster rolls! Yum!

We ate at a great diner for breakfast one morning! Ashleigh and I posing with our lobster friends behind us... when in Maine.

On our drive into Portland from the Boson airport we stopped in Ogunquit, ME. We did a seaside walk and grabbed our first lunch out at a cute spot on the water named Oarweed.

We enjoyed some wine and tasty snack foods on a sailboat ride. It was a bit windier than we expected but we made it work just find. A big thanks to Erika for the organization of passing out crackers and cheese. It was a great time!

We saw lots of pretty lighthouses!

Ashleigh did an incredible job organizing a surprise sailboat ride to celebrate Jessie's engagement. Kayla joined us, which was so fun and we blindfolded Jessie to keep her guessing at what we were doing till the very end. It was such a fun memory and I'm super glad we did it!

I may have almost fallen in but whew, caught myself on the edge.

One night we realized that four of us were all wearing olive green tops and black bottoms. We had to document the moment!

This was my first trip away from Robert. I was very sad when I left for the airport but overall it was the perfect timing for me to sneak in a trip. Rob went and saw him Mom over the weekend and also had my parents over for dinner one night while I was away. I loved receiving pictures from him. He is the sweetest!
