now that it’s fall and holidays are coming at us, i’m finding that one of the hard parts of the road life is realizing that we won’t be able to do a lot of our family traditions. my timehop app on my phone keeps reminding me of things like patterson farms, pumpkin carving, baking and […]
the crayola experience.
on thursday, i took the girls to “the crayola experience”. it’s about an hour away in easton, pa, which is where the crayola factory is. who doesn’t love crayola. anna the artist was so excited. hazel too. isaac didn’t want to go. so he spent a long and boring day at the camper with derek. […]

well. we are in pennsylvania. after all of our weekend travels to get here, we spent a bit of downtime before resuming our adventures. on wednesday, i had big plans to go for a three mile hike with the kids. but, they were pretty resistant, so we settled on a 1.5 mile hike that was […]
baxter state park (maine).
for our last great maine adventure, derek took off work so we could spend a day hiking and canoeing in baxter state park. but first, we needed to fill up on a big fat lunch at a local restaurant. i’m glad we did, because we were able to purchase a trail map while we were […]

for our final week in maine, we were in the middle of the state, also in the middle of nowhere, at a cute little campsite, where the internet was terrible, the air was crisp, and we were the only campers. we laid pretty low most of the week, except for the first and last days […]
acadia, the miscellany.
we kept so busy during our time at acadia, so i’m cramming two weeks of miscellaneous down time into one post. so, without further ado…. hazel has about 40 thomas the train minifigures. sadly, there are no tracks being made for them. so, we busted out some washi tape and she’s totally good to go. […]
acadia, with grandparents.(seal and lobster boat).
after our morning of hiking the beehive trail, we met up with derek’s parents and the kids to go to bar harbor on a seal watching and lobster fishing boat. on the way through the harbor, we spotted these lobster photo booths, so we obviously had to stop for some pictures. our naturalist (super smart […]
acadia, no kids hike.(bee hive trail).
the early part of our second week at acadia was pretty chill. not too much to report. on wednesday, though, derek’s parents rolled into town. the kids were SOOOOO excited. after they were settled in, the kids had transferred the entire contents of our trailer into their cabin, and an epic sleepover began. derek and […]
acadia, the weekend.
(wonderland trail)
our weekend in acadia was relatively low key. the weather was a little blah and overcast, so we tried to stick to activities that wouldn’t be ruined by drizzle and cold. firstly, we went to a toy and book store. we ended up spending quite awhile there, as you might imagine. then, we crossed the […]
acadia, days 5/6.(ocean path)
on our fifth day in acadia (thursday), we took the bus to sand beach to walk along the ocean path trail. our first stop was to see the beach that we went to earlier in the week in the dark. not too shabby. we started our journey, stopping to climb down to the rocky areas […]
