We arrived in Camden and first on the agenda was getting fresh lobster for a lobster bake at the campsite. Another yummy meal! Sunday morning we set out for a fun hike and picnic up Maiden Cliff Trail which is a great hike with beautiful views of the Megunticook Lake. The cross in the background of the photos are in honor of 12-year old Elenora French who fell off the cliff in1864 while trying to catch her hat that had blown off in the wind. Beckett was very bu...

It has been several days since our last post and we have been busy. We had a short and sweet trip to Newport, RI (and no Taylor Swift sightings). We went to Bowen's Warf, shopped a bit, and had a nice dinner at 22 Bowen. Not only did we enjoy the "Bowen" portion, we ran into an old work colleague of Bryan's as we were leaving the restaurant--small world. It was nice to run into Bob (Margolis). The next morning we went to a local diner and then off to the Cape. ...

So very different from the flat fields we see in our part of the country. We took a quick stop in Colonial Williamsburg and enjoyed a few hours of seeing how life was in colonial times. On Sunday we drove to Hersey as is was a must-do item for the boys. We had more fun here than we expected. We thought it ...

We loved our visit to North Carolina this week. We started at the Biltmore in Asheville and the boys loved it. We weren't sure they would be into touring the Vanderbilt's lush grounds and "house," but we had a fun time. We took a picnic and ate in the gardens outside the conservatory before our tour. We finished the 4th with a local fireworks show and food trucks in downtown Asheville. Wednesday morning we hiked Craggy Gardens with plans to hike the famed Chim...

"Dash-ville" is correct! It was a mad dash through the great city of Nashville. We couldn't miss the Johnny Cash museum as it was a must-do surprise for Bowen. It is a wonderful tribute to the Man in Black. We left Nashville for the day to drive up to Mammoth Cave and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Beth's mother was born and raised in Bowling Green and spent most of her childhood visiting her cousins in this great part of the country. We were lucky to swing by the ho...
