Do you want to know one of the most romantic places in the world? Of course you do and so did I, though that’s not what I was looking for exactly when I discovered that it was true. It turns out that my husband and I accepted an invitation by his former co-worker to spend a weekend in Ogunquit, Maine and we accepted thinking it would be a nice chance to get away from it all. We had both had an extremely busy and stressful couple of months so we were just looking to get out of Boston, we weren’t expecting anything else and had no idea what to expect from Ogunquit or the area.

However, from the moment we arrived, which was in the late evening so we pretty much just settled into the comfort of our fireplace warmed room accommodations. However, the next morning we were all up at sunrise and enjoyed a great coffee and pastry breakfast with an incredible view of the water and surrounding trees. There was just enough of a breeze to remind us that we were free and my husband and I looked at each other with a familiar, yet estranged knowing smile. We suddenly laughed at an odd realization we couldn’t quite yet vocalize and our friends wondered what was the joke.

We had a beautiful, quiet day and walked along the water’s edge and found out information on the Playhouse, which is the town’s theatre and is reported to put on some quality productions as well as the museum, which we decided we would visit the following day. That night the four of us enjoyed some delicious hot cocoa and felt almost like kids who were on our own for the first time. We had such an amazing time there that my husband and I agreed it would be our regular preferred escape location and we’ve even begun talking about buying a summer home there.
