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 I’m just so thankful! (I think some clouds might be moving in for tonight/tomorrow.) But the weather has been just beautiful. It’s just like the cherry on top.… Continue reading Day 10: Acadia National Park
Day 9: 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 “hit the road super early” type vacationers. What can I say. We are not typically “go to bed at… Continue reading Day 9: Acadia National Park
Day 8: Belfast, Maine to Acadia
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
Day 7: Coastal Maine- Bath, Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid Point
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
Day 6: Portland, Maine
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
Day 5: White Mountains, New Hampshire
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: Quechee to North Conway, 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!! Highlights: Quechee Gorge * After breakfast/check out from out hotel, we headed just across the street to the Quechee Gorge. We had to hike a short maybe 1/2 mile… Continue reading Day 4: Quechee to North Conway, New Hampshire
Day 3: Bennington to Quechee, Vermont
Omg we had the best (and very full) day yesterday! We really only have a couple days in Vermont, so I wanted to soak it up. Prepare for photo bomb…. In a bit of a hurry so not much time to edit!! Highlights: * continental breakfast outside at our inn. Such a gorgeous morning. *… Continue reading Day 3: Bennington to Quechee, Vermont
Day 2: PA to Bennington, 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: WI to PA
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
