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, day two. (cadillac mountain)
day two started slowly. we had a big fat pancake breakfast. i think hazel was a fan. i used up the rest of the maine blueberries in my pancakes. combined with my ithaca maple syrup, i hardly noticed the terrible store-brand pancake mix. oh, and butter. i had high hopes of doing some hiking with […]
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 […]
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).
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 […]
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 […]
