Weekend in Maine

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! I had the pleasure of heading out of Boston and up to the coast of Maine for the weekend. I changed around my schedule a bit so that I could stay for three nights! That extra night really made the weekend feel like a little getaway! I spent a lot of time catching up on sleep, hanging out with the family, enjoying the weather, going for bike rides, and heading to the beach!

It was great to be together as a family and celebrate Father's Day. I dont know what I would do without this guy, couldn't ask for anyone better to be my dad!

I mentioned on my Simply Elegant instagram that I was trying my first attempt at homemade chia seed pudding, and I was really happy with how it turned out. I followed Serena's simple recipe and topped it off with some fresh raspberries and organic coconut.

On Sunday the weather was absolutely gorgeous, a great change from Friday afternoon. So what did these warmer temperatures mean...? My first dip in the ocean of this summer!!! I try to swim in the ocean as much as possible when I am by the coast so I thought why not start this weekend. But ohhh my gosh it was freezing! If you have ever been in the ocean in Maine you know you need to expect the cold..but wow!

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! Any fun adventures? Follow Simply Elegant Blog on instagram to see all my weekend adventures as they happen.
