Talk about last minute planning but we are considering driving to the south coast of Maine for part of the Fourth of July weekend. It’s a little unsettling that the holiday actually falls on a Wednesday this year, so many people are actually considering taking the whole week off. I’d love to do the same but I don’t have all that many vacation days left, what with the trip to Europe looming overhead. So we’re just taking the Thursday and Friday after July 4 off.
Alan and I have agreed to take a short break somewhere driveable and we’re setting our sights on Maine. We’re thinking of heading for Saco which boasts of two waterparks, is but 10 miles from Kennebunkport, and definitely near a lighthouse or two. I already plotted it on MapQuest and have found that it’s a 5 hour drive from where we are. Not bad. I’ll be devoting some time to reading up on the location and planning our trip there, granting we can book something for that holiday weekend.
It’s the first time in Maine for both of us, and we’re looking forward to exploring that portion of the New England coast.
