Spring Is In The Air
With Spring in full swing, there is lots going on in the Kennebunks. With the weather having been near perfect the last several weeks, lets look and see whats fun under the sun, and whats happening now on Southern Maine's Coast. With this kind of weather we're having why not take advantage of it, by perhaps hitting the links for 18 holes at one of Kennebunk's premier golf courses such as Cape Arundel http://www.capearundelgolfclub.com, or Webhannet http://www.webhannetgolfclub.com. Cape Arundel being the home course of former President George H.W. Bush, is known for being "sporty but dangerous". While Webhannet's location is devine, moments away from miles of beaches along the Atlantic Coast. But if golf is not for you, perhaps an enjoyable bike ride on one of Kennebunk's most adventurous trails. In town, the Sunoco service station, at the corner of Western Avenue and Port Road, offer motor scooters that are available for rental or for purchase. What better way to enjoy a warm summer day then to take a ride along the beaches and take in the beautiful scenic views. For the water enthusiast, a great way to spend the day is to try kayaking up the Kennebunk, or Mousam rivers. Also located just a couple minutes walking distance from the King's Port Inn is the Franciscan Monastery. Open to the public, the Monastery is easily one of if not the most peaceful and secluded areas in all of Kennebunk / Kennebunkport. With walking trails, and various religious monuments and architecture just waiting to be explored. Whatever you decide to do while on vacation, be sure to relax and enjoy the fresh Spring Air.
