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 […]
toys
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
gateway to cape cod. week one. the “boring” parts.
ok. i am about to post six different posts about the last week of our adventure. we have been very busy doing lots of fun and exciting (and maybe even educational) things. but, first. let me post about the in between moments. in other words, i’ll be getting the boring post out of the way. […]
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 […]
the third and final week in accord. thankfully.
our third week in accord (and our last week in new york state) started off with car trouble, as mentioned in the previous post. so, we were stuck to the campground, while derek handled overseeing the repair of our trusty steed. on sunday, since we had a late start getting to the pool, all of […]
accord new york, week one.
we have been extra lazy at our new spot. we are here for three weeks. it’s a nice campground. the kids are tired of having daily epic adventures. there’s not a TON to do in the immediate vicinity. so, lazy it is. lots of legos. our site is close to the pool. and it’s been […]
downtown disney. disney springs.
earlier last week, i made the executive decision to head to downtown disney, only to find that it has been rebranded “disney springs” and there’s a ton of construction and confusion. once we drove around for an extra half hour or so, we managed to park as far away from the retail part as we […]
