Ogunquit, Maine

Every once in a while, you need an escape; a break from the daily grind and a reward for all of your hard work. Weekend escapes are a beautiful thing. Pick someplace that you can get to in under a few hours, cut out of work a bit early on a Friday and come back to reality mid-Sunday.

What makes a great weekend destination for me?

• Downtown area, check.
• Beachfront, check.
• Great food, check.
• Lively nightlife, check.
• Everything within walking distance, check.

Those are a few of the components that originally drew me to Ogunquit. My fiancé and I had been going here for years, but only for a few hours at a time. We had never spent the night, and didn’t know what we were missing! We hadn’t done a weekend getaway in about a year, nor had we taken an extended vacation. We were both really burnt out and absolutely needed it! I cannot stress enough the importance of disconnecting. Taking the time to rejuvenate yourself will do wonders for you during the week. Find what makes a great destination for you, pick a place and go!
