AIME TRAVELS...TO KENNEBUNK

Here at Aime, we love to travel and discover new things. Aime Creative Director, Monica Mei, recently traveled to Kennebunk, Maine in search of some R&R and came across a few surprising finds.

SEE: Nick's Chance Whale Watch. This whale watch tour takes you from Kennebunkpo

rt to a feeding area to see a variety of whales including the Blue Whale and the endangered Right Whale. Bonus: Monica also saw seals sunbathing near the Boon Island Lighthouse, playful dolphins "wake boarding" the ship's waves, and a thousand pound tuna!

DO: Maine is known for its selection of antique shops. Monica found some great wooden crates, a typewriter from the '20s, a turquoise

glazed pot, and an MJ Thriller album at an antiques barn along Route 1. ECO-TIP: Antiquing is a great way to love Mother Earth. Why buy new when you can re-use someone's once-loved treasures?

EAT: After a morning of antiquing, re-fuel at Capt'n Hook's Lobsters. This lobster bake shack is a cheapie place to get your fresh Maine lobster fix. With picnic benches surrounding the lobster tanks, the atmosphere is like eating in your friend's backyard. The steamed sweet corn is a do-not-miss with its lobster butter - delish!

STAY: Monica stayed at the historic Beach House Inn which has a gorge view of the ocean. ECO TIP: The Inn has free bicycles, helmets and lock available for their guests. Monica says leave your car in the lot as Kennebunk is a perfect town for cycling. The ride to Walker's Point (George Dub's summer home) is picture perfect.
