Now I’m not positive, but I believe it is a residency requirement in Maine that everyone, dogs included, need to eat so many pounds of lobster per year. This rule especially holds true for Mainers who choose to spend their vacations in their home state as well. Ok, I may be wrong. However, I didn’t […]

The goal for our vacation was to enjoy the “quiet side” of Acadia National Park, exploring trails off the beaten path away from the more popular attractions.

Back […]

Ok, I admit it, I’ve been a little lazy when it comes to homeschooling Asa. So he may have forgotten a lesson or two. However, I never realized how out of touch he was getting with his inner Wolf until he insisted on bringing his squeaky toy on a hike with us! It didn’t even […]

Asa and I have swam in the vast ocean and climbed the highest mountains, but who would have guessed our biggest challenge would be a corn maze! My first warning that this wasn’t going to be a typical hike was the the map posted at the trailhead. Now I’ve seen some complicated trails in my […]
