June 15th my mom, grandma, and myself embarked on one of our 3 generation trips. We were headed back to Maine (we did Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont 2 summers ago) for my second cousin's wedding. He, a Harvard economics professor was getting married to an Education PhD candidate who also has a background in Economics and not only that she is Indian and the wedding was going to be a Hindu wedding. Thats really the reason that we went, I really wanted to see a Hindu wedding.
I was grumpy most of the time, but despite my bad mood we had a nice trip.
We went up a couple of days early so that we could spend some time in Acadia National Park, and let me say, if you ever get the chance to go, you should. Acadia is simply beautiful, stunning, amazing. Jordan pond and Cadillac mountain are my favorites, but Thunder Hole and the hiking trails are amazing too!
After our trip to Acadia we took route 1 down to Brunswick where the wedding was held. It was a nice 3 hour drive through the quaint little Maine towns, where veterinarian offices are at least 3 per town!
The wedding was a 3 day affair. The morning of the first day was family only, then we had the henna party (please excuse my non-technical terms!), Saturday was the wedding and reception and then Sunday was the send off, where guests were invited to some say goodbye to the bride and groom and have some pastries, fruit and drinks.
My description cannot compare to the "Trailer" put together by the videographers:

Enjoy!
My next travels take me to Sweet Home Alabama.
