Are We Glamping Yet?

One of the best parts of camping is getting up early and having that first cup of morning coffee in peace and quiet, often with a beautiful view, before the rest of the crew gets moving.  But this morning we slept in a little bit and then we watched Gayle King take her trip toContinue reading “Are We Glamping Yet?”

A Hot Blast At Furnace Town & Horsey Hijinks

Furnace Town did not actually deliver the promised haunting. No spectres rattled the RV in the wee hours of the morning; the icy cold hand of a woman in white didn’t tap us on the shoulder. Nevertheless, the historical site gave us a unique glimpse (that we never knew we needed) into Maryland’s iron industry. Continue reading “A Hot Blast At Furnace Town & Horsey Hijinks”

Life in the Slow Lane

Life in the Slow Lane Hello, 2025 Camping Season!  We are already on the road for another unpredictable adventure with Kevin, our trusty RV.  Rob and I took the last trip of the 2024 season in November, spending a night up near Hyde Park, NY and visiting the Franklin Delano Roosevelt presidential library and hisContinue reading “Life in the Slow Lane”

“Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” – Back to the Future

But we could have used a map… so there’s that. Happy Birthday, America! What better way to celebrate the good ol’ U.S. of A. than with a visit to one of America’s National Parks. And let me tell you, we spent a GOOD chunk of time in Acadia National Park today. We spent some timeContinue reading ““Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” – Back to the Future”

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” – Dirty Dancing

Some days you need a forced time out. And yesterday was that day. Between the sunrise trek up Cadillac Mountain and the queasy morning of whale watching, coupled with the most fresh air our family has breathed for months, we were wiped out. Rob and I slept until 9:30 AM – that’s unheard of. (WeContinue reading ““Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” – Dirty Dancing”

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” – Jaws

The world has seen numerous notable maritime disasters. Remembering The Sultana, The Titanic, and recently, the Ever Given may give you pause before booking that Carribean cruise. And then there was the 8:30 AM Bar Harbor Whale Watch out of Frenchman’s Bay on July 2, 2024. The day started out as a top ten weatherContinue reading ““You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” – Jaws”

“Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” – Dead Poets Society

Nothing says “Seize the day!” like waking up at 3:00 AM to drive out for a 4:00 AM sunrise reservation to the Summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. I fully expected to be making this a solo trek, despite having talked up this little adventure yesterday. I mean, who in their right mindContinue reading ““Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys.

“Life moves pretty fast…”

…If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Every so often you just need to get out and BE in nature. You don’t realize you can’t breathe deeply or think clearly. You don’t realize you’re holding stress in your shoulders, in your hips,Continue reading ““Life moves pretty fast…””

Days 7 & 8: We Like to Move It, Move It!

Normally, the travel back home from vacation can be a let down. You start making a mental list of the things you will need to do to get ready to go back to work: grocery shopping, laundry, sorting through the mail. For this reason, we always try to pepper in some fun pit stops toContinue reading “Days 7 & 8: We Like to Move It, Move It!”
