Happy Friday! Activities for 5-4-18!

May 4, 2018

Why, hello summer! This week sure was hot, wasn’t it? Kind of gets you excited for beach days and sun tans! Or, if you’re like me sun burns and more freckles… but it was a little much, too soon if you ask me! This coming week we’ll have more seasonal weather to enjoy. Temps will be in the high 50s, low 60s which is perfect weather to explore the area, walk the beach and enjoy a lunch outside! Speaking of lunch, most (if not all) our restaurants are finally open! And if you’ve ever been to Ogunquit before you know that’s a LOT of restaurants. The majority of the shops appear open downtown and at Perkins Cove, too! Hopefully between all the shopping and eating you’ll find time to join me on one of the tours or crafts this week. Pretty soon some of these activities will be changing with the changing of season, so jump on board while you can!
