Like a lot of people I LOVE Fall. It's my favorite time of the year.
Back at the beginning of this year we decided to go ahead and plan the trip. Basically thinking that after Sketch arrives we won't be traveling much for some time so it's now or never.
I know reading to some can be a bit boring so I'll keep the words to a minimum. The following are just a few highlights. Enjoy!
Saige is such a great traveler. She doesn't like to sleep in the car but she's easily entertained with books.
Recognize this House? If you are a Stephen King Fan you do! We stopped briefly in Bangor for this photo op. Happy Birthday to me!!!
We stayed in a little town called Lubec, Maine. It's the Eastern Most town in the US. It's small, quaint and apparently after Sept 30th Dead. Yep, we arrived 5 days after everything shuts down for the season. We still managed to have a great time. The plus side? No crowds!
Here we are eating our first Maine Lobster Rolls.
While Saige LOVES Clam Chowder and Oyster Crackers she's not sold on Lobster.
All the more for us.
Our nephew Nathan went with us on vacation too! The more the merrier I say. Here he is eating his first Lobster Roll as well. Yummo.
I love views like this.
We visited the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse.
You would have thought I asked her to point to it. Such cuteness.
The easiest way to hike with a toddler, via daddy shoulders.
I celebrated my birthday while on vacation. You'll notice Saige is old enough to not have to wear a bib, but mommy isn't ;)
This was the view from the deck of the cottage we rented. Brian snuck this pic of Saige and I walking back from exploring.
I got up early many mornings and the sunrises were just spectacular.
Saige exploring on Campobello Island where the Roosevelts had a sumer home. It's in Canada just next to Lubec, Maine.
The Lubec area has the largest change from High Tide to Low Tide in the US. It's a 27' difference! Oh the exploring that can be done!!
I went out exploring the shore line at low tide one day and brought back some yummy mussels. Brian turned them into a delicious meal! He's magic in the kitchen.
The Boreal Forests of the area are so enchanting that I just wanted to sit down and never leave. They are filled with Fur and Birch trees and smell so strong Christmas.
Everyone enjoyed the hikes.
I love taking pictures each year of my feet in the leaves. Everyone obliged me! I love pics like this.
The view at dinner one nice.
Our last day in Maine and we spent it at a little park. One side was saltwater the other was freshwater.
She's very independent. She wants to walk on the boards herself!
My adorable Monkey ran up to me while I tried to snap a pic of her walking a path. She LOVES nothing more than being outside. She will bring you her shoes and if you don't put them on and go for a walk, well then you better be ready for her to tell you what for!
All in all a wonderful vacation had by all. Even if the boys complained about how I put them so far out there was no cell service, no TV or Internet! Yikes! How could I? Well, that's what family vacations are for. Making memories. You can post updates to facebook the rest of the year.
