A guy could get used to this process of starting the day off slowly. It’s certainly a more relaxed way to travel. Eventually it was time to leave for the ferry to Nantucket. We opted for the high-speed ferry that made the run in just over an hour rather than the traditional ferry (taking 2:15). […]
Kind of a rough night for some of us so we were a bit slow getting going this morning. However, this did allow us some time to sit and contemplate water The scheduled activity for the day was a drive up to Provincetown at the very tip of the Cape Cod. The drive took the
Not to put too fine a point on it…but today is my birthday. Therefore practically everything was motivated by and served the purpose of celebrating my attainment of an ever advancing age. The morning started, appropriately enough, with the grandsons delivering breakfast in bed. It was a bit on the messy side so we ended
So…the roofers arrived at 7:00. Why? Because it wasn’t raining. But still. The upside was twofold. First we loaded up and left ahead of schedule. Second, the host has offered to refund some of our fee. So (after convincing the roofers to take a break so we could load the car without having old shingles
This morning we breakfasted and loaded the car for our day’s adventure. Brooke arrived (having spent the night with a friend in the area) and we took off for a drive down the coast to Portland (about 20 minutes).

We were up, breakfasted, packed, and out of the camp by 9:04 (four minutes late – but that’s still pretty good). Our first destination was the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse – a short 3:15 jaunt down the coast. The map above doesn’t show the actual route we took. The listed path down US 1 is actually
The da started out fairl quickly. We had a lot of ground to cover today. After breakfast we loaded the car and drove to Acadia National Park. We checked in at Thompson Island Information Center (Nana and Papa used our Lifetime Senior passes) to register both cars (Brooke had her own car, more on that
This camp is a truly great testament to the creative arts. Built in 1940 it has been remodeled a couple of times since 1980. But rather than looking like what it is – a basic small cabin with add-ons, the finished product presents a unified whole trimmed in real barn-wood and tastefully decorated with unique
Today was the day to explore Bar Harbor (spelled phonetically in the heading). We started at a leisurly time, taking the half-hour drive (we’re told that in mid-summer the drive can take as much as 2 hours.), and arriving in town in time for a quick lunch before the main event of the day. After
This morning we packed up and left Vermont. We made pretty good time, getting on the road by 9:15. There is no direct way to cross upper New England so we got familiar with back roads and state highways. I was the navigator for the first two legs. My task was basically to mediate between
