Day 12: We awoke indoors with big beds and floors with carpet which felt a little strange, sharing a bathroom, and not starting a fire first thing. We found a restaurant that served breakfast in popovers at a streetside cafe a short walk from our hotel. It was a beautiful morning and we could have […]
Day 11: We slept a little later this morning, but not long after sunrise. We met some people at the shower house who had been to the place we were headed a little later in our trip in West Virginia and were thrilled to talk to us about it. They had been in the winter […]
Day 10: I woke up a little after 4:00 and couldn’t go back to sleep. We heard there were pay showers across the street from our campsite (just off property from the National Park) so I thought it would be nice to get a shower in and watch the sun rise. We tend to get […]
Day 9: We rose early in Bar Harbor, cleaned up, had some breakfast and packed camp to get into Acadia. Jeff and I talked on the way about how the night we met we were sitting in Momo’s, a piano bar in Sioux City, discussing places we would like to go someday while leafing through […]
Day 8: Our last morning in Vermont we cleaned up, packed, and played catch in the clearing right outside our campsite – it was mowed and trees cleared perfectly, like it was there just for a game of catch. We had Ben research a place to eat and he found us the cutest little bagel […]
Day 7: This might have been one of my favorite days on the whole trip and one of the days I have the least details to give. We awoke to the smell of trees and grass in Little River State Park. Everything there is a bright shade of green. The only place we had in […]
Deer Run Campground was an interesting place. Upstate New York in general is pretty interesting. There are these areas we drove through that are clearly the places to go, beautiful and well kept. The people are a little more well spoken and sophisticated, edging on snobbish. And then, there is the wild, rural back country […]
Sometimes there are things in this world you think are unattainable. Things you think you’ll never have the chance to do and then all of the sudden…Boom…there it is. The first time it ever happened was when I was a fresh college graduate and I saw the Coliseum for the first time. After that there […]
Day 4: Morning dawned on one of our favorite campsites and we knew it was time to leave. We spent the morning slowly getting ready and hanging out a little more with our Minnesota camping friends. It was hard to go watching the kids all have so much fun together. It’s been good to keep […]
Day 3: Benny’s birthday! Started with a pillow fight with his brother outside the tent while mom and dad took turns showering and making breakfast. I read Ben his traditional birthday book while Jeff told all our new camping friends it was Ben’s big day – he got “Happy birthdays!” all throughout the day 🙂 […]
