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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

ned’s point lighthouse adventure.
our first big adventure at this campground was taking off to explore some beaches and coastline. we chose a lighthouse as our first destination, with the possible backup plan of going swimming. ned’s point lighthouse wasn’t too far away, so we packed up for a quick viewing. i don’t think the kids really knew what […]
single mom in sturbridge mass.
**warning: this post is mega-long** the spot we finally decided on in sturbridge was next to the beach/lake, store/office, pool and rec area. it’s pretty convenient, even if strangers tend to feel very comfortable taking a shortcut through our site to get to any of these places. (and messing with our stuff…) lakeside: being next […]
suny tech reunion at lake taghkanic.
one of the best parts about road life is being able to connect with old friends who are scattered around the country. that happened last sunday when i was able to meet up with three friends from my college days at suny tech. to be exact, it was an old soccer and softball teammate and […]
watkins glen (everything but the gorge).
we finally pulled into our campsite at watkins glen state park around 7pm, so an executive decision was made to go straight to dinner. another executive decision was made to make it mexican. after dinner, we took a quick drive down to the water, to see the last bit of daylight disappear over seneca lake.
