A Day Trip to the Kennebunks
Blog: Brewster House News - 9 August 2011
Another favorite day trip from our Bed and Breakfast in Freeport is a trip to the Kennebunks.If you would like to enjoy the drive down US-1 to the south, we suggest wandering until just north of Portland, and when I-295 crosses US-1, you should enter I-295 to the left, taking you on to I-95 South, as far as Biddeford. At that point US-1 is only a short distance from I-95, and you've bypassed the congestion in and around Portland.

A Vermont Family Getaway
