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 […]
acadia, day one.(bar island trail, sand beach).
we arrived and settled in on a saturday and, not wanting to waste a weekend day, got busy exploring on sunday. the weather was overcast and slightly threatening, so we went low-key and decided to walk across the bar island trail. it’s a sand bar between bar harbor and bar island that you can walk […]
travel day – moody to acadia.
on saturday, we got an early start (thanks to super helpful kids were were eager to join in the camp packing up duties). our trip was 3.5 hours and happened to pass by augusta, the capital of maine, so the girls and i detoured to visit the capitol building. we have learned that saturdays are […]
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 […]

evening stroll at marginal way.
we are about two miles north of the little town of ogunquit. it’s very touristy. and stuffed with terrible traffic and little shops and restaurants. but, just past that, there’s a litle walkway that strolls along the waterfront, called marginal way. it was on my list to do while we are here, and since it […]
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 […]
