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 […]

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 […]
we love maine! (arrival day).

gateway to cape cod when we weren’t on cape cod.
i only have 10 blog worthy pics from last week that weren’t from days we actually went out on cape cod. and that’s a stretch. most of these pics wouldn’t have made the cut in a normal week. but we were pretty lazy on our lazy days. there was a lot of campfiring. the wood […]
thomasland, edaville, usa
during my preliminary research into things to do near this campground, the edaville usa railroad popped up. i added it as a favorite and moved on. later, as derek did his own research, he dug a little further and discovered that inside the park, there is a thomas land, with all thomas the train themed […]

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. […]
cuyahoga valley national park
yesterday, father’s day, we hit up our first national park on the lidbom rambling road show. we are only about an hour from cuyahoga valley national park, so after a big fat breakfast, we loaded up our bikes and the kids and snacks to check it out. a couple of family pics before our adventure… […]
ohio. week 1.
at first glance, we thought our trip to ohio would be sort of boring. our site seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. we were mostly just trying to get a few free weeks in our network of rv parks that we are members of (thousand trails). anyhow, on our first day, we did […]
