We're home!! Start to finish we were gone two weeks to the day. It felt both like a long time, and a short time, all at once. I'm currently in the "drowning but trying to catch up on life" phase right now (as I so nicely put it to someone yesterday who was asking me… Continue reading Wrap up: Friday- Tuesday! Home from Mexico
Thursday, August 18 After our extremely late night on Wednesday, I was dead to the world Thursday morning until after 9 am. Might have been 10- I can’t remember!! Ivan and Ethan were apparently up by 8 am sitting outside. It was a beautiful morning. I felt somewhat like I had been run over by… Continue reading Valle de Bravo (Day 2) —> CDMX
Wednesday, August 17 On Wednesday we had plans to drive to Valle de Bravo, another small town about an hour and half west this time of Toluca. I was not initially super thrilled about this, not because I didn’t want to go- I did, very much- but our original plan was to go later in… Continue reading Valle de Bravo, Day 1
Eek, the last few days have been BUSY! I need to rewind to Tuesday, August 16. To refresh your memory: We got home from Tepotzlán Sunday night, Monday was my super lazy recovery day, and then Tuesday we set out to explore again. We decided to do a day trip to Malinalco with Ivan’s mom… Continue reading A day in Malinalco, Mexico
Sunday, August 14 Sunday was our last day in Tepotzlán- a partial day, really. We didn’t have to check out until 2 pm at least. We had no big plans- as I said, it’s a small town and there isn’t really that much to “do”, exactly. Everyone just took it slow and hung around a… Continue reading Back from Tepotzlán and the laziest day of my life
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
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! 😆 I was doing so great keeping this updated everyday, but then I was up until after midnight on Tuesday night and didn’t 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
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
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
GRATEFUL KAE
