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 […]

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 […]
albany field trip.
the one positive for staying in one park for more than a week is that we can plan big family trips for the weekend days, instead of packing up and traveling. i’m sure derek feels the same. so on saturday, we decided to head to albany, for a family field trip. on the way in, […]
travel day. ithaca to accord.
after our two nights in ithaca, we spent a very slow morning getting ready to head to our next spot in accord, ny. while we packed up, the kids colored the balloons from wegmans with crayola markers, with made for some super messy kiddos. of course we left some stuff out to dry overnight and […]
