very year, people flock to the ocean, a favorite lakeside retreat, or escape the hustle and bustle seeking peace in the mountains. No matter which scenic destination is your preferred escape, all offer a natural beauty that make us want to leave work behind and embrace the moment. We hope this issue inspires you to pack up your suitcase and enjoy your favorite peaceful setting! So go on, make the most of your summer, and create lasting memories with the ones you love. Before you know it the leaves will be turning their vibrant warm colors and we'll be saying how much we missed pumpkin spice lattes. In this much anticipated issue geared toward summer travel, we bring you the theme of the five senses of summer, the mountains, the lake, the sea and the South. We hope you this issue inspires you to go somewhere new!

A
s a fourth-generation vacationer to Boothbay Harbor, Mark Osborn decided to make it his permanent home when he bought The Thistle Inn in Boothbay Harbor. He befriended his colleagues down the road, the previous owners of the Topside Inn at the time, and it was a good thing he did because even though they were business competitors, they introduced him to Brian "Buzz" Makarewicz.

Helping out their community goes way beyond just buying fresh farm eggs and fresh seafood from the local businesses, they also open their kitchen for members in the community to join them for breakfast on a donation basis, which is in turn donated to local food pantries and charities.
Mark and Buzz later got married in 2013 and Mark sold The Thistle Inn and the two bought the Topside Inn from their friends. They have taken pride to make it their own by remodeling each room. The duo are true foodies at heart, and it shows in their unique New England style dishes that both guests and locals have come to love. They just released their cookbook, "Over Easy and Over the Top," which any seafood lover would be crazy not to own. Mark and Buzz planted 32 fruit trees last year, on their four-acre property. They take pride in using at least one item from their garden with each breakfast they prepare, even if chives are the only things growing at the time, they will use it!
