For the first time in a few weeks, we didn't have a soccer tournament, AND Ethan's league game was a home game (aka- the best kind of soccer game, 3 minutes from our house). It still felt plenty full, but simply being HOME more was just what I needed. I've mentioned I had been feeling… Continue reading A productive/nice weekend
We had a long Sat.-Sun.-Mon. weekend here in the U.S., thanks to Labor Day. We also had two of Ivan's cousins (a brother and sister) come to stay with us for this week from Mexico City. (They'd been with an aunt in California for the past several weeks). ALSO, Ethan had a soccer tournament in… Continue reading Long weekend
Saturday we had planned a little “gap” 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. It’s 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 can’t 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
GRATEFUL KAE
