"It's the rotary I told you 'bout the spinning top…read moreAnd that's a dance you gotta drop" (XTC) While visiting Kennebunk, Maine, we spied a tiny riverside park on Main Street where the Kennebunk River meets downtown. Rotary Park is very small, probably about one tenth of an acre, but it offers some scenic views of the river, picnic tables and benches, and a gazebo. It's a small downtown green oasis created through a partnership between the Kennebunk Rotary Club and the Town of Kennebunk. The project spruced up the riverfront with fresh landscaping and simple upgrades that make it easier to enjoy the Kennebunk River and add a little extra charm to downtown.

You have to know that you're going to be roughing it a bit if you choose to play here, but I'm giving it 4 stars, so read on! We started by hitting some balls at the driving range, which was half boarded up with rusty lawnmowers everywhere and a decrepit abandoned snack bar abutting it that was about to fall down. We weren't even sure if we were allowed to be there when we rode up to it (but yes, this was it!). There were maybe 10 tees on the first level, only 2-3 of which were usable/accessible, but you know what, it worked for us! There is a little hotel and a bar near the course, but it wasn't operational when we were there. Either COVID or maybe since we went super late in the season (November). Bathrooms for the course were in the pool changing rooms and would you believe that there was no light in the bathroom stall? No, the bulb wasn't out, there was no fixture! The golf course itself was in good condition: grass properly mowed, putting greens without divots, clean... Not too difficult for a beginner like myself and not too easy for more experienced players. The only downside for us was the condition of the cart paths. Some selective repaving would go a long way! I honestly think their money-maker is the hotel/bar/pool/field games/kids events that they hold during the normal warmer season. This appears to be a family-run operation, and definitely a fun place to try out!

Bad experience overall!…read more I looked online for a tee time and it was wide open, so I figured I'd drive there hit a bucket and then play. I got there and they said they were booked for the next hour and a half, which is the opposite of what their booking system said. I decided to hit a bucket first so didn't mind waiting for a little while. I paid $10 for a tiny bucket of balls and half of them were chipped or cracked open. I then went to see how long the wait was and they said I could go out after the next twosome. I said let me think about it for a minute and I went and looked at the tee box to see how backed up it was. I decided what the heck I'll just play two balls and relax. So I went back in literally a minute later and they said I now have to wait for a foursome coming around for their second 9. I left immediately.

This is a great park that hosts events and a space for community interaction as well as a…read moreplayground space for the community. Also as you may see from my photos posted they have an incredible portion of the Christmas/Holiday lights for the town of Westbrook. You can either treat it as a drive thru or a walk around but either way observe and admire the display of lights! You'll find plenty of animal designs, trees fully decked out, and more. Besides the holiday display this is a park you can enjoy all year long. During the warmer months find yourself parking and walking along the water and seeing ducks and other wildlife. Also a spot you could bring your kids to and enjoy the playground area. Also of note, not that I have played it in a long while it is a solid spot to play Pokemon Go. If you are a local and or visiting the area make time to stop here. Lots of local food and drink spots nearby you could stop at to grab and enjoy your meal at Riverbank Park!

So, when I'm sitting on my friends couch and contemplating if I should exercise, then kinda seriously injuring my back while not moving and still sitting on the couch...I feel like that's a sign...that I should go to the chiropractor and also start working out before my appendages start randomly falling off due to disuse. I had been to Align Studios for a yoga class just a week or so prior. The instructors (one of whom was also the chiropractor I saw) were quite knowledgeable and the class was amazing. I also kind of wanted to die in the middle of it, but in the best way, because the class was challenging and strenuous and I was covered in sweat. I really appreciated the adjustments and direction that the instructors made and I felt like I received great workout but also ended with a nice yoga vibe (I don't think this is a real thing, but I'm making it one). The studio itself is a beautiful and relaxing space with plenty spaces for bags, changing rooms, lots of sunlight, and they also sell a small selection of yoga supplies and essential oils (and maybe other stuff? There were cookies, so I was distracted). EVERYONE was incredibly friendly and very welcoming. There was also a concurrently running Lululemon trunk show and I purchased an amazing travel blanket scarf with ARMHOLES! But I digress... When deciding where to go for my first chiropractic experience, I decided to go back to Align Studios/Health. I called on a Sunday (What chiropractor is even open on a sunday!?!? bonus points!!!) and made an appointment for the next day. The person at the desk was super nice and very knowledgeable. After a very quick wait, Dr. Paul escorted me into his office/examination room. He understood that this was my first visit to a chiropractor ever and was both clear and thorough in his explanation. While I don't think that anyone enjoys getting an injury treated, this was certainly a relatively quick and painless visit. This is where the review is going to get very unintelligent, because I don't remember things ever. Dr. Paul used some type of pulsating machine combined with heat to make my back swell less, then he did some weird push-y thing on my back, then he cracked my back/neck. All I know is I felt significantly less pain then when I came in. I made a follow up appointment (I think this will take maybe four visits, per Dr. Paul) and promptly received an email confirmation. Obviously I'll be back as I'm the kind of person that breaks herself while sitting still on a couch, but I feel better about the healing process thanks to my experience at Align Studios/Health. I can definitely see myself signing up for more yoga classes and I definitely rank this class among the top three yoga classes I've attended. tl;dr Go here for yoga or chiropractic services, because this place is awesome and everyone is super nice and also knows their stuff!!!!

Ogunquit is a charming town. It's well maintained. It has a lot of cute, touristy venues. It is the…read morehome of the marginal way, which is an amazing 1.5 mile walk along the Atlantic coast. There's a variety of restaurants. There is a large number of hotels, motels and inns to cater a variety of tastes and budgets. It's within striking distance of Kittery, Kennebunkport, Portland and Freeport. It's a very LGBTQ friendly town. The only negative is that it gets quite crowded over the summer. As long as you adjust your expectations accordingly, it's a great place to vacation.

This is our first vacation to Maine, so I asked a friend who's spent years vacationing here for…read moresome of her favorite spots. High on her list was Ogunquit and the Marginal Way and now I know why. We're staying in Portland, so Ogunquit is a short drive south, past Kennebunk. We took the more scenic route down (Hwy 1), driving through Wells, and are glad we did. We arrived in Ogunquit just at lunchtime, as we wanted to eat at Brix + Brine...unfortunately they weren't yet open for the season (Hubs, being a foodie, was crushed). We walked around a bit, enjoying the quaintness of the town. They clearly are a seasonal town, and we're here at the very beginning of the season so some shops weren't yet open. Parking is a challenge, but Google can help you find the public parking (we only found pay lots...not sure if there are free lots available). This is a VERY pedestrian oriented area, so as you drive through, take it slow and keep a sharp eye out. We've found most people will use the crosswalks but did have one experience where a couple crossed mid-block without even a glance left or right . There are some beautiful beaches here, with public access, so it makes sense that it's a big draw for visitors. One of the reasons we came to Ogunquit was to experience the Marginal Way, a walking path along the coastline that stretches a little more than a mile, from Ogunquit to Perkins Cove. We decided to drive down to Perkins Cove, park, grab a bite and walk the path. Perkins Cove sits on a finger of land, so there are docks with boats (and cruise options, I think), several shops and places to eat and a LOT of residences/rental houses. Right in the center is a medium sized parking lot where you pay by the hour ($4 per hour) - however, just as you enter the area theres a pay lot for $10. Choose your parking location based on how long you intend to stay. We ate lunch then walked the Marginal Way. The path is mostly well above the high tide mark and the rocks, but with a couple of stairways to allow you to get to the beach. Being low tide, we walked out to the water, took off our shoes and enjoyed a short walk in the cold water, while watching surfers and kayakers. The path is wide enough for two people to walk side by side and is paved. Those with mobility issues should be able to walk at least part of it, although some areas will be a little steep for anyone using a wheelchair. There are plenty of benches along the way, so you can take it at your own pace. This southern gal now wants to retire and move to Maine. I can learn to deal with snow...

It was so beautiful, it was very easy to walk, and truly enjoy nature, the birds, the ocean, butterflies, our wonderful rocky coast. There was wonderful sun exposure, there were some shady spots further into the walk, the ocean breeze was amazing and refreshing. There were a few places where you could walk down on the rocks to the ocean. Fun to explore, but be careful, you can easily slip if you're not paying attention. A few people we observed were more interested in their conversation and each other, seemingly not paying attention to their footing... and we watched some lose their footing. Luckily they recovered. If I'm in the area and am looking to stretch my legs and enjoy nature, I will definitely stop here. Kudos to all that donate time and money making this a beautiful spot. To those future visitors - enjoy, and remember, leave nothing behind and take nothing with you. Let's keep this place beautiful! Highly recommend.

We were not alone in this thought as many others were here too. Lots of easy to walk trails (mud or snow may be present depending on the season) with beautiful coastal views with lots of rocks and beach-like spots to explore. If you are a fan of nature and the Maine coast this is a must check-out spot. In the distance you can also get great views of Wood Island Lighthouse.
