Stuff from My Trip to Portsmouth and Visits to the Surrounding Areas - Kittery, Hampton, etc

Memorial Day weekend, I did what many Bostonians do and headed north to New Hampshire for the long weekend. I stayed in Portsmouth and went south to Hampton for a beach day. 

Sunset on the Maine/New Hampshire Border, Memorial Day Weekend 2016

This was the gorgeous sunset on the NH/Maine border.

Fried Scallops from Bob's Clam Hut on Route 1 on the Maine NH border in Maine

I went north to Maine for some seafood dinner at Bob's Clam Hut on Route 1. This a a great place to go after a long beach day, as it's really informal and you don't have to worry about being in beach attire while you eat. My meal was delicious. I love fried scallops. (They were the first thing I ate when I stopped being full vegetarian and started being a part-time pescitarian, back when I was a nanny in Kennebunk, summer of 2001. Worth it.  Sorry scallop creatures.)

Kilwin's Candy Store dark chocolate turtle with sea salt

Then I went back to Portsmouth for dessert: sea salted dark chocolate turtle from their Kilwins Candy Shoppe (a candy shoppe chain, but still tasty.)
