Posted on February 7, 2020February 7, 2020by sarah

acadia. day five.
precipice and general maintenance.

Posted on February 7, 2020February 7, 2020by sarah

on our first trip to acadia, i was too chicken to hike the precipice trail. but, after making our way around the country, doing more strenuous and dangerous hikes, and consulting with folks who have done the same, i felt confident in my precipice hiking abilities. so, on day five, i ditched the fam and […]

on our third day in acadia, we packed up the lidkids and ruby dog and drove the hour-ish commute over to the schoodic peninsula. it’s a lesser known/visited part of the park and we have had it on our list since our last trip to acadia. the drive around the peninsula is a one way […]

acadia. day two.
bar harbor tide pools and seafood.

Posted on January 22, 2020January 22, 2020by sarah

when we were planning out trip, the top attraction for anna was tide pooling. we carefully studied a tide chart and the weather forecast and determined that the best day for our excursion was our second day on the trip. (last time, we were caught in a crazy storm and it was not lovely). the […]

bubbles, jordan pond, bass harbor lighthouse.

Posted on January 22, 2020January 22, 2020by sarah

after a good night’s sleep, we wasted no time getting out and adventuring on our first day in acadia. we drove to the jordan pond house parking lot and then hopped on a shuttle to take us to the bubbles trailhead. this way, we could do a longer hike and see more and not have […]

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 […]
