The Wedding Cake House is located at Kennebunk Main. After leaving Kennebunkport, we drove to Kennebunk. We set out to find the house which is said to be the most photographed house in Main

We found that the house which built by George W Bourne in1825 sitting beside the road to Kennebunk.  Bourne was a ship builder and continued to add to his house for the remainder of his life.  The hose is really amazing to see.  I find it more so because of the tools Bourne would have had to use to shape the wood.

I think anyone with interest in woodwork would enjoy seeing this house.

One of the many beautiful towns you should visit in Maine is Kennebunkport home of President Bush. Kennebunkport  is an old town and it will remind you of the past. I thought of sailing ships and books that I have read of the Clippers and the seamen on them.

Welcome to Kennebunkport home of President Bush

I found the town to be a great place to walk. I enjoyed the different shops and wide selection of food. The town has several nice shops. We liked the Dock Square, Western and Ocean Avenues.

I of course had to eat at Mabel’s.

Mabel’s

People often tell of running into members of the Bush family at Mabel’s, but did not see anyone the day I went. I did however enjoy a lobster roll that was great.

We drove out to Walker Point to see the Bush home. The best view that I found was at a site where the people had place a plaque to honor the former President.
