Today we set off on our long weekend adventure. We are planning on doing some exploring in the northern middle part of Maine. The biggest goal for the weekend is to see a moose!! We did some research and found which areas of the state we are more likely to achieve our goal. Some parts of our trip may be…
Saturday we did some Island hopping aboard the mailboat ferry. We were able to catch a ride on the ferry that delivers people, food, and supplies to some of the islands in the Casco Bay. It was a beautiful day except for the wind. It was a very enjoyable ride but I was thankful for my fleece lined pants and…
Today we drove through some areas of Maine that we haven’t been to yet. I found a list of waterfalls that were easily accessible (no hiking). They were relatively close to each other so we could make a day of it visiting them all. We were able to get to them all accept for one, and funny thing is that…
We got the good kind of snow today! We let it fall for a little while until there was enough accumulation to build a snowman and to have a snowball fight. We did both! It was a lot of fun. We did it just in time too, because the snow later switched to a freezing rain. Pile of snowballs before…
Today was a beautiful sunny and relatively warm (40 degrees) day so we decided to play outside for most of it. We chose not to go far away and just hung out in downtown Portland. First, we started off just walking around the city and made our way to Holy Donut to give them another try since they were sold…
So…it’s been a year since we packed up and left North Carolina for our traveling adventure. All I can say is WOW! I wasn’t really sure what to expect when we started and sometimes still not sure, but we have had a blast! Dont get me wrong, there have been some wicked stressful times, some raised voices, silent treatments, and…
Today was yet another beautiful yet cold day. We decided to drive a little north to check out a couple of lighthouses that we hadn’t seen yet. Our first stop was Marshall Point Lighthouse. It is the lighthouse from Forrest Gump. It was very pretty with the snow, but holy cow the wind was soooo cold. Our next stop was…
Today we checked off another destination on my list of places to go while we are here in Maine, Arethusa Falls. It’s a waterfall that is a popular winter hike because it freezes over and ice climbers like to climb it. The hike was 1.5 miles each way with an elevation gain of about 900 feet. The snow on the…
Today we took a scenic drive to Grafton Notch State Park. We were hoping to see a couple of waterfalls that were in close proximity to each other. The road through the park was perfectly plowed and clear of snow, but the parking lots and shoulders were not plowed at all. Because of this, we were unable to park at…
Closed for the season was definitely the theme for today. Whether it was a restaurant, a store, tourist activities, and even roads, we saw our fair share of these signs. We got an early start out this morning to go to Thunder Hole in Acadia National Park. It’s an inlet in the rocks where the waves crash loud like thunder…
