Kennebunkport, Maine, May 2011

I took a bit of a road trip through Maine a few weeks ago and when I saw the signs for Kennebunkport I had to stop.  One of my favorite memories of childhood is driving along the shore with my dad in his old green Triumph TR250.  It started to rain and we had to pull over to put the top back on.  However, the tops on those old British cars were made of vinyl and snapped on.  They're not easy to put on in the sunshine. In the rain it's damn near impossible.  Luckily my dad has had this car since he was in his 20s and has been caught in many a thunderstorm so he's a pro at it.  He put it together in record time and we went on our way.  

Come to think of it, every time I've been to Kennebunkport it's been raining, which is probably why I love going there so much.  There's something about rain and ocean that's eerily beautiful.
