Meet River Taco, the newest addition to the family. A 2017 Forest River Wildwood FSX Travel Trailer. Anika picked the first name, Jake the second. We absolutely LOVED our pop up camper. We spent the past two summers making so many memories. However, we knew with the kids getting bigger, we wanted something a little […]
Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor April 2022
Spring break this year we headed north to the Bangor, Maine area for a few days. The biggest part of our time away was a day trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We set our GPS for the entrance gates where we paid the 30.00 dollar fee that allows one car admission for […]
What do I want to keep?
Watching the YouTube video, “To Declutter Faster, Start with What You Need”, by Joshua Becker, completely changed the way I viewed decluttering. A quick summary of this video is, when decluttering ask what do I need to keep, not what do I need to get rid of. The mental shift has been life-altering for me. […]
Walt Disney World and Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort 2022
We finally made it back to Walt Disney World, this time we stayed at Bay Lake Towers at the Contemporary Resort. Our first trip was in 2019 when the kids were four and 22 months. They are now seven and four. One of my favorite things about this trip was that it was a total […]
National Geographic 50 States 500 Campgrounds
I am so excited that one of my photos was recently published in the new National Geographic book written by Joe Yogerst, 50 States 500 Campgrounds!!! Never in my life did I think I’d get to say that. When an editor reached out to me last January, after reading my Dolly Copp Campground and The […]

Eagle Mountain House and Jackson NH, Holiday Trip
Last December 2021, we surprised our kids with a trip to the Eagle Mountain House Hotel in Jackson, New Hampshire. We had been here in the summer but this was our first trip in the winter. We checked into the hotel and ate the pizza in our room that we had picked up on the […]
Golden Apple Inn and Storyland, Glen NH
At the very end of last summer 2021, right before school started, we squeezed in a quick trip to the White Mountain area, specifically Glen New Hampshire, to stay at the Golden Apple Inn and visit Storyland. Storyland was a total hit with the kids, as usual. We learned this trip that Jake is quite […]
Thomas Point Beach Camping Trip, August 2021
Last August 2021 we took our annual trip to Thomas Point Beach Campground in Brunswick Maine. This is a favorite camping spot for us and we also love the surrounding area. We stuck to hanging out at the campground this trip but if you’d like to see more of what’s around Thomas Point Beach and […]
White Lake Campground, Tamworth NH
Last summer in August 2021, we checked out a new to us campground. White Lake State Park in Tamworth, NH. The campsites are packed together and most are small, but the appeal is the lake. The water is perfectly clear, like pool water and the bottom of the lake feels like an ocean with only […]
