It got a bit late Thursday night in Portland before we made it back to the hotel after dinner. I don’t think we went to bed until midnight at least. So, we were a little slower moving Friday morning than originally planned. 🙂 After hotel breakfast/packing up we hit the road north up the coast… Continue reading Day 7: Coastal Maine- Bath, Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid Point
Thursday morning we checked out of the condo by 10:30. The only drawback to staying in AirBnbs is that there is a bit more work to do before check out. (Take out trash, start dishwasher, strip beds, etc.). No big deal though. I’m glad we had a condo for at least a couple nights of… Continue reading Day 6: Portland, Maine
So let’s see, where did I leave off… Oh yes, our foggy/drizzly morning. I was initially a little unsure how the day would go, if the weather continued like this, because pretty much everything we wanted to do was outside! Fortunately, it did clear up. We got a later start to the day as a… Continue reading Day 5: White Mountains, New Hampshire
Day 4 was our last morning in Vermont, moving on to New Hampshire in the afternoon. It was a really great day. Outdoors all day long!!

We had to hike a short maybe 1/2 mile… Continue reading Day 4: Quechee to North Conway, New Hampshire

Highlights: * continental breakfast outside at our inn. Such a gorgeous morning. *… Continue reading Day 3: Bennington to Quechee, Vermont
Yay, we made it! The first couple days were mostly just a long haul heading East, but we are officially in Vermont now. After our hotel stop Saturday night, we basically just woke up, got ready, had the “grab and go” hotel breakfast and hit the road again. I did zero driving this time around,… Continue reading Day 2: PA to Bennington, Vermont
Day 1 of our 2021 summer vacation is in the books! Slightly anticlimactic, as the first day of a long road trip usually is. 🙂 It started like this, around 8:45 a.m: Books for days Today’s highlights included…. * Driving through parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and a smidge of Pennsylvania. * Chicago traffic… Continue reading Day 1: WI to PA

JULY RECAP First, it is somehow August. July felt like an absolute blur. When I look back at my planner, it's obvious why. We had family here for 4th of July weekend. Ethan's birthday and sleepover party with his friends. 2 weekends of swim meets, one including a 3 night stay at my parent's house… Continue reading July was packed & pre-vacation week
Not much time today- I am on a mission to head out in~5 minutes to hit up the grocery store!! We seriously need groceries, and there just wasn't a great time so far this week. (Well, there probably was, but nobody wanted to go.) I tend to have a MUCH easier time (semi) cheerfully going… Continue reading Today + photo project fun
