Drake Island Beach, Wells, Maine

Welcome back. Ah, the good ole summertime. This week, my wife and I are enjoying a week-long trip to Maine. We have traveled to the Ogunquit, Maine area for quite a few years now, and still find things to do and places to explore. Today we are at Drake Island beach, about 6 or 7 miles North of the main beach in Ogunquit. It is a less busy alternative to the main beach and is just as lovely a location. Nothing beats the beach!

As I have written many times, it is good to get away for a vacation, whether you are still working or are retired. When you are working full-time, the need for a getaway is obvious. When you retire, you may think you don’t need vacations. I have found this not to be true. We still need to get away from our routines from time to time no matter what they are.
