Meggie’s family used to take weekend trips to Maine to go to the beach. When they got close to the water she always rolled down her car window to smell the crisp and salty ocean air. This was one of Meggie’s favorite childhood memories, along with collecting shells in her pail and building castles (with moats). These pictures from the coast of Maine are reminders of the excitement of that first scent of the ocean.

Happy beach time and cheers to the memories.

Maine’s rocky shores are as unique as the place itself.

What I found so interesting when we lived in New England that the sea air from the ocean smells different from other areas of the Atlantic Ocean. Maine is different from New Hampshire or Florida.

I have such fond memories of our time in Maine. Prior to the pandemic we used to visit every spring and go to Acadia National Park. We’re hoping to return once the borders open up again.
