So like I said, Ivan is home! It sounds like he had an awesome time in Mexico. He LOVES going back. I think he really, really misses "home"- even though he also loves living in the U.S. (and has for many years now). But he misses his family. And largely, his culture. He is very… Continue reading Mexico
We are HOME! 16 days, 11 states*, 9 different hotels. WHEW! What an amazing ride. So grateful that everything went so well. Really, I feel almost surprised by the fact that everything went so well! I mean, it really was a long trip (longer than a typical trip we take- due to the distance of… Continue reading Day 16: Dayton, OH to HOME
Saturday we had planned a little âgapâ day to break up the driving. We stayed an extra night in Dayton, Ohio so we could go see the National Museum of the US Air Force. Itâs located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force base and is the largest military aviation museum in the world. They have a… Continue reading Day 15: National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
Another day on the road!! On Friday we drove another 8 hours, approximately. I canât even remember what time we hit the road⌠not super early or anything. Probably was around 8:30-9:00 I think. It was a mostly uneventful day. Gas stations, bathroom stops⌠a Subway for lunch. (Where Ethan ended up forgetting a library… Continue reading Day 14: Scranton, PA to Dayton, OH
All good things must come to an end, of course. Thursday morning was our day to pack it up and head towards home. First, a picture from Wednesday that I forgot to insert⌠the classic âpose for a picture with the National park signâ shot. đ We drove by these signs repeatedly during the week… Continue reading Day 13: Acadia to Scranton, PA
Day 12= our last full day in Acadia!! We arrived Saturday and had some afternoon/evening time, then Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So about 4 1/2 days. This was, I think, just about the right amount of time to do the park justice. Of course, with 100+ miles of hiking trails, we barely scratched the… Continue reading Day 12: Acadia National Park
Whoops, I guess I finally hit the wall! đ I was doing so great keeping this updated everyday, but then I was up until after midnight on Tuesday night and didnât have it in me to post the next morning. Picking up where I left off⌠So Tuesday was our 3rd full day in Acadia.… Continue reading Day 11: Acadia National Park
I have to start off with a quick note of thanks to the weather gods. We have had perfect blue skies here in Acadia so far, and Iâm just so thankful! (I think some clouds might be moving in for tonight/tomorrow.) But the weather has been just beautiful. Itâs just like the cherry on top.… Continue reading Day 10: Acadia National Park
Yesterday was our first full day in Acadia NP. We headed out around 8:45 a.m. (Everyone says that to beat the crowds, you should hit the trails super early. However, in general we are not really âhit the road super earlyâ type vacationers. What can I say. We are not typically âgo to bed at… Continue reading Day 9: Acadia National Park
On vacation I always start to lose track of what day it is, but I think yesterday was Saturday. Since we arrived later/after dark to our hotel in Belfast, we had decided we would take a slow morning to enjoy the place. Unfortunately, we again had a foggy morning, so the ocean views were obscured… Continue reading Day 8: Belfast, Maine to Acadia
GRATEFUL KAE
