Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day here in Southern Maine. The sun was shining. The wind was minimal. It was about 50 degrees. Feeling a bit vitamin D deficient, we packed up all three kiddos and went into Portland to the Eastern Promenade. Portland has a great trails program and there are a number of really great walking paths all over town. This bike/walking trail runs along the eastern side of the Portland peninsula. Along the path is the harbor, the East End Beach, and the Narrow Gage Rail Way. Eli has been crazy about trains lately, so we thought this would be the perfect path for a walk as the train comes by regularly.

It was a short trip but well worth it. Winter is finally coming to a close here. Maine is starting to come back to life as its inhabitants are starting to come back out of their houses. There were tons of people out and about. A lot of parents out with strollers and little kids. Most days are still pretty chilly and we are sure to get at least one or two more storms, but after being cooped up inside all winter (and for me, the fall too) it has been wonderful to start spending some time outside again.
