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: Acadia National Park
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
Day 11: Acadia National Park
Whoops, I guess I finally hit the wall! đ I was doing so great keeping this updated everyday, but then I was up until after midnight on Tuesday night and didnât 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
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. Iâm glad we had a condo for at least a couple nights of… Continue reading Day 6: Portland, Maine

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 âgrab and goâ hotel breakfast and hit the road again. I did zero driving this time around,… Continue reading Day 2: PA to Bennington, Vermont
July was packed & pre-vacation week
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
