From CNN's Kathleen Koch

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (CNN) - President Bush will spend a three-day weekend at his parents' century-old oceanfront estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and attend a family wedding, the White House said.

Friday morning, Bush spent an hour and a half biking at nearby Massabesic Experimental Forest. The president has no public events on the agenda during his visit, the White House said.

Local anti-war groups are planning a march Saturday afternoon, handing out leaflets urging participants to "Tell Bush Hands Off Iran." Bush's last visit to his parents' Maine summer home was last year, when he hosted separate visits from Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
