warning. this post is at least 50% pictures of anna posing with beautiful landscapes… so, in my last post, i said that the kids wanted to go back to the hot springs. i managed to convince anna to hike there with me this time, instead of drive to the quick little path. she could earn […]
swimming
big bend. hot springs.
on friday, derek had to actually work for his actual employer, so i had to find an activity i could handle on my own with the lidkids. we decided that i would leave hazel (to watch movies, play ipad, and generally continue to recover a bit from being sick) and take the older lidkids to […]
big bend. santa elena canyon.
due to slow internet, travel days, and an untimely round of the stomach bug (is there ever really a timely round?), i’ve fallen behind on my big bend posts. allow me to take you back to last thursday. after a day off from exciting expeditions, mostly due to hazel being sick, we were back at […]
medina lake, the first half.
when i started this post, we were at the halfway mark of our stay at medina lake rv resort. (when i imported the photos, they were completely out of order, so i got frustrated and quit and turned the computer over for several viewings of moana and about 50 how to draw youtube videos). but […]
two last beach days in maine.
we wound up cutting our time at moody beach campground a week short to head to our next stop (bar harbor/acadia national park area). so, i felt it necessary to squeeze in as much beach time as possible for our last two days. the beach was much quieter now that summer vacation is over for […]
maine beach day. (#2).
for our second beach day, we enlisted the help of derek for our commute. parking is $25. the bike ride home is a little rough for my tiny people AND for me pulling one tiny person and all of our beachy stuff. so, he dropped us off. and when he did, i realized i had […]
maine beach day. (#1).
for our first day in maine, we decided to head back to the beach. it’s only about a mile and a half away, so we thought we would attempt riding our bikes over. the ride was pretty smooth, except for a small stretch on a heavily trafficked road. the kids aren’t used to riding in […]
we love maine! (arrival day).
we are finally in maine!! i have been looking forward to this part of the trip for soooo long. it’s the first state on the lidbom rambling road show that i haven’t already been to in my life, and so far, i’m in love. we got set up and then immediately made our way to […]
cape cod friend reunion.
i’ve said it before, but one of the bonuses to this lifestyle is being able to meet up with old friends who i might otherwise never get to see again ever. on friday, we hooked up with one such person. my friend cathy, from my college days, now resides in cape cod, where her husband […]
cape cod national seashore.
we couldn’t very well stay at a place called “gateway to cape cod” without going out to cape cod, now could we. so, on one particularly nice day, after we had recovered from our busy weekend, we took off for the cape cod national seashore. the drive was a little long for us. it should […]
