We’ve made the most of our last day in Maine. We woke up to watch the sunrise - just beautiful. A little later we got to spend some time checking out wigglybridgedistillery

Wiggly Bridge was started in 2013 by David Woods and his son David Woods. They wanted to try their hand at distilling and initially gave their effort 2 years to see if they were good at it and if they enjoyed it. Turns out both are true. We did a whiskey flight there today, trying their white whiskey, small batch, bottled-in-bond, and American single malt. We enjoyed the Bib and the single malt the best. While they don’t typically have single barrels for sale, we were allowed to taste one that they had there. It was fantastic.

The best part of the day was the fact that we were lucky enough to be there on the weekend when Dave (sr) does tours himself. While we didn’t do a full tour, he spent a lot of time talking to us about their journey and craft. You can tell how passionate he is. He hopes that his whiskey is enjoyed and shared with friends and family over meaningful conversations. That’s just how we like our whiskey.

Cheers to a beautiful day. And if you’re ever in York, Maine - you should take the time to stop in for a visit.

There’s something about York Beach, Maine that feels like stepping right into a coastal 90s movie. Safe, welcoming, and full of old school charm! It’s exactly what I needed for a solo trip with my 8 year old.

We stayed at anchorageinnyorkbeach in a double bed ocean suite with a fireplace. Every chilly evening we lit the fire, curled up in blankets, listened to the waves and even caught a little Monday Night Football together. Cozy memories were definitely made!

Just across the street sits sunandsurf_york , a beachside spot with the best lobster rolls I’ve ever tasted.
Sandy toes, salty air, and fresh Maine seafood = heaven 🫶🏼

The York Beach boardwalk gave us classic summer fun: saltwater taffy, souvenirs, and all the nostalgia!

If you’re visiting in summer, don’t miss York’s Wild Kingdom - rides, animals, family thrills.

We also walked the Wiggly Bridge & Steedman Woods, a tiny 1930s suspension bridge style walkway & woods. Great for letting kids wander & imaginations run.

And oh, the nubblelighthouse - Cape Neddick Light Station (aka Nubble Light) was built in 1879, perching on a rocky islet just 100 yards off York Beach. The islet itself is not open for visitors, but from Sohier Park on the mainland you get those views. The sun setting behind it? Jaw dropping. Westin loved it so much we went back twice! (The two ladies working the gift shop are the sweetest)

We ended each day swimming in the pool and hot tub watching the most beautiful sunsets over the ocean.

My tip? Visit in September. The weather’s still gorgeous, everything’s open, but the crowds thin out and it feels like you’ve found your own secret coastal town.

Anchorage Inn is family run with warm staff, multiple pools (indoor & outdoor), on site dining, free parking, and it’s literally steps from Long Sands Beach. It’s a spot built for families to slow down and actually enjoy each other.

We can’t wait to return in the summer months, this slice of Maine definitely has our hearts. 🧳💙
