last saturday, we crossed the over the border (and the delaware river) and spent the day in new jersey. derek had picked out a few activities for us, so we could put our NJ sticker on our state map. our first stop was at a little model train museum. it definitely wasn’t nearly as impressive […]
food
roba pumpkin patch.
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 […]
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 […]
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, 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 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 […]
moody beach (non-lighthouse, non-beach edition).
we spent a lot of time at the beach or on the rocky coast looking at lighthouses while we were at moody beach. here’s some pics of when we weren’t doing those things. every morning is different here. sometimes isaac is up at the crack of dawn, poking me to ask if he can watch […]
a lighthouse-y labor day weekend.
for our labor day weekend activities, we decided to visit a couple of lighthouses. first up, on saturday, we went to the cape neddick nubble light house, about 10 minutes away. the kids had a blast climbing over all of the rocks. the lighthouse was very pretty, but it’s on a tiny little island, so […]
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 […]
boston, day one.
last weekend, we had our biggest adventure so far, two days in boston. derek worked hard to create a two day long itinerary of educational adventures for the five of us. so, we woke up early friday and drove to beantown. we dropped the car off at the hotel, had some breakfast, and called an […]
