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, days 5/6.(ocean path)
on our fifth day in acadia (thursday), we took the bus to sand beach to walk along the ocean path trail. our first stop was to see the beach that we went to earlier in the week in the dark. not too shabby. we started our journey, stopping to climb down to the rocky areas […]
acadia, day three. (jordan pond)
on day three, i was prepared. i checked the maps. the bus schedule. read trail reviews. and had a plan. firstly, we took the bus from our campsite to the visitor center. we had 15 minutes until the next bus would take us to jordan pond, so we decided to make a dash in and […]
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 […]
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 […]
two last beach days in maine.
we wound up cutting our time at moody beach campground a week short to head to our next stop (bar harbor/acadia national park area). so, i felt it necessary to squeeze in as much beach time as possible for our last two days. the beach was much quieter now that summer vacation is over for […]
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 […]
maine beach day. (#2).
for our second beach day, we enlisted the help of derek for our commute. parking is $25. the bike ride home is a little rough for my tiny people AND for me pulling one tiny person and all of our beachy stuff. so, he dropped us off. and when he did, i realized i had […]
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 […]
