harrisburg… museum + capitol.

Posted on October 20, 2016January 8, 2017by sarah

our current campground is about 30 minutes from harrisburg, pennsylvania, which is cool for a couple of reasons. one, there are several free museums that we can visit with our science museum membership. and two, it’s the capital. so, a couple of days ago, off we went. we chose the whitaker center for arts and […]

we arrived in the hershey/gettysburg area on saturday afternoon. set up camp. and headed off to hershey’s chocolate world. it was a lot different than i remembered from the time i went when i was like 8 or so. everything was just digitally projected onto machine shaped “screens” and there was audio coming at us […]

eastern pa. so boring.

Posted on October 17, 2016January 8, 2017by sarah

after our amazing five weeks in maine, our time in eastern pennsylvania was a bit of a letdown. it started with two, back to back, 4.5 hour travel days. it doesn’t seem like much, considering we used to make the 10-11 hour drive to ny from nc a few times a year. but, with packing […]

new jersey day (trains and mines).

Posted on October 15, 2016January 8, 2017by sarah

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 […]

roba pumpkin patch.

Posted on October 14, 2016January 8, 2017by sarah

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).

Posted on October 4, 2016February 24, 2017by sarah

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 […]

debsconeag lakes wilderness area

Posted on October 2, 2016January 8, 2017by sarah

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.

Posted on September 27, 2016June 15, 2017by sarah

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).

Posted on September 27, 2016August 28, 2018by sarah

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 […]
