Our final day in Maine we decided to head back towards Portland for the day, specifically to a restaurant in Cape Elizabeth called The Lobster Shack. This was my second favorite unexpected find of the trip. First off, for the wonderful fresh lobster roll… The Lobster Shack is a small building with a few tables […]

I’m embarrassed to admit visiting York wasn’t part of the original plan for this vacation. I did a ridiculous amount of (Pinterest) research for months before I actually left and I think the only thing I remembered about York was a wobbly bridge. Fail.

My first glimpse of Camden was on the road trip from Bangor to Rockland. I was driving down Route 1, trying my best to find some of the scenic coastal views I’d hoped to see, and started noticing the houses. Beautiful, huge estate kinda houses. The kind that make you wonder, “What is this world […]

A chance to experience camper living […]

Typically when I tell someone about a trip I recently went on by myself, I get this kind of surprised reaction that’s somewhere between concern and admiration. Most will ask a few questions and, more times than not, make a comment about how they couldn’t do anything like that or they wish they could be […]

I’m one of those people born with a wandering spirit. I often find myself glancing longingly at the interstate ramp when I’ve been homebound too long. I love the ‘wind in my hair’ feeling of getting out on the road and seeing places I’ve never seen before. For years I waited until I had someone […]
