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 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

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!! 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
Memphis Trip Recap – Days 1 and 2!
Wednesday (Day 1): Left home after work (late afternoon) and drove ~5 hours! We all rode together in our van (my parents came along on the trip, too) and a major highlight of this first evening was listening to Elvis music and other 50s-60s music on the ride down! I played DJ from the front… Continue reading Memphis Trip Recap – Days 1 and 2!
Disney + COVID-19 pandemic
Since I started this blog within about a month of the pandemic really hitting the U.S., it has become a place for me to document so much about these unprecedented times we are all living in. No matter how long I end up having this blog, I am so glad that I've had a place… Continue reading Disney + COVID-19 pandemic
