Southern Maine in Early Spring







Just wanting to get away for the weekend, we spent a couple days in the Kennebunk area. Most seasonal businesses won't open until the April, so this is a quiet time there. We knew the weather would not be great (especially after the warm, sunny days earlier in the week), but weren't counting on snow Saturday morning. So we shot up to Portland, to visit the art museum (www.portlandmuseum.org), the when the snow stopped, poked around Kennebunkport.
Sunday morning was bright and clear, so we wandered around the coastal area, including Ogunquit and York. During the summer season, these are insanely crowded, so off-season is usually our only time to visit.
The rivers in New Englad are high right now, due to the snow melt and heavy rains, but Perkins Cove in Ogunquit was very quiet Sunday morning.
