It was hike day in Big Bend National Park for us. For various reasons, we didn’t do the South Rim Trail (sad face emoji) as I planned. We wound up doing the Lost Mine Trail. It could not have been too much worse. It was the perfect hike. It also saved us about 10 miles …

This was one of my favorite days at Big Bend National Park. The Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive was beautiful. It had lots of stops for exploring/hiking. I was so busy taking in the sights that I even did a full face plant on one hike. Emmaline and Emily throughly enjoyed that! We ended the day …

We were heading down to Big Bend National Park, and it was a haul! I’d never been to West Texas. There is A LOT of open space…OPEN…A LOT. Emmaline was going on the trip with us, and I’d tried every way possible to talk her out of coming. I was worried about the “remoteness” not …
So. Much. Fun! I was somewhat skeptical of the e-bike. “I don’t NEED an e-bike!” Well…I didn’t NEED it, but I WANTED it! I quickly got used to the electric assist on the bikes we rented. We covered 30+ miles on the Carriage Trails around Acadia National Park. It was fall, the leaves were beautiful, …

Utterly Terrifying! LOL We’ve done plenty of hiking in our days. I use the word ‘hiking’ VERY loosely. This ‘hike’ would barely classify as such. There was definitely some climbing on this one. Some very disturbing climbing. But as with many things…we are glad we did it! Probably won’t do it again…but glad we DID …
We started off our visit at Acadia National Park by driving around the park loop road. We explored the Ocean Path. We timed the tide coming into Thunder Hole perfectly. The same tide almost got us at Sand Beach. We had a date (and time) to get up Cadillac Mountain, so we headed up from …

We hit 5 lighthouses while wandering around Maine. My favorite visit was a sunset lighthouse visit at Bass Harbor Head (near Acadia NP). Ironically, this was also my least favorite parking lot of all the lighthouses! Many had the same idea we had. My favorite lighthouse in the whole state was Portland Head. All were …
We hit Maine to visit Acadia NP, but visited several towns along the coast (along Highway 1) while we were there. We saw lots of cool towns, hiked many beautiful coastlines, and visited tons of lighthouses. We saw Portland on the way in and out, stayed in Bar Harbor for a few days, and hit …

We toured A LOT while in Savannah, GA. Riverwalk tour, ghost tour, historic house tour, historic parks tour, historic street tour, trolley tour, cancelled haunted house tour, walking in the rain tour, famous cemetery tour, and eating tour(s). Eating is not really a tour, but you gotta keep the energy up [lame fat person excuse …
We hit Savannah, GA and our first two stops were forts! Fort Pulaski is a very pretty “moated fort” that got messed up and has the scars to show for it. Then we made it over to Fort Jackson (dodging lightning and mosquitos) to see them fire a cannon. BOOM!
