We headed to West Virginia for a quick day trip to New River Gorge National Park. The park is a 3 hour drive from our home. I thought it would be neat to see this waterfall with the low temps we’ve been having. It is right off the road, however, the trail was frozen solid. At one point, I just…
Our 5th and last day in Maine. 😰 4th day at Acadia National Park. Yes, way back in October. I’m not a very good blogger, am I!? We hiked 3 miles- we made it to the summit of Beech mountain. There was a lot of rock scrambling on the way up, but we did it! Gorgeous views- especially on top.…
Acadia National park has about 45 miles of carriage roads. No cars are allowed on the carriage roads; it is open for hiking, horses and cycling. Absolutely stunning beauty all around. I am so glad that we decided to bring our bikes to ride along the carriage roads. On day 3, we rode our bicycles 25 miles around the carriage…
This morning we got up early and headed to Troutdale, VA. It was 22° and windy, but we made the short hike to Comers Creek Falls. Ghost had a great time! It’s his kind of weather. There was a tiny bit of snow on the ground and ice forming on the moving water. The water level wasn’t as high as…
Part 1 – Acadia Mountain Trail In the morning, we headed to Bar Harbor to board a boat to go on a lighthouse tour. Afterward, we ate a delish lobster roll (they had gluten free buns!) and then we hiked Acadia Mountain Trail. It was an amazing trail on the quiet side of the island. It was fairly difficult with…
Day 1 – Acadia National Park The first day at Acadia, we made it out fairly early to get to the Beehive Trail. The park was really crowed despite us being there the last few days of the peak season. Shops and restaurants were closing down for the season. We were able to get in the last day a local…
On our second day of the honeymoon, we made it to Vermont. We went to Quechee State Park to see Quechee Gorge before heading to our hotel. The most interesting thing of the hike was seeing a hiking cat. Have you ever seen such a thing? I tried to put my black cat, Rose, into a harness and she fell…
The last two and a half months have been a blur. 3 dogs, 5 cats, 4 kids, and 4 adults in the same house. They closed on their new house yesterday and will be moved in by the weekend. While it has been nice to have the grands here, I am ready to get my house back. It’s been difficult…
Happy New Year! We are almost through January already. Ghost had his neuter surgery on the 4th and is doing well. He had a hard time trying not to jump and play. He’s a playful, adventurous pup! We hiked 5 miles yesterday with him at Hanging Rock State Park. He does really well climbing over rocks and fording water. If…
I’ve been to Grayson Highlands twice now. I went with Marty back in 2020 and again over my birthday weekend this year. I joked that every girl needs ponies for her birthday, so we went back to hike and to see the ponies! Marty is awesome! If you have never been to Grayson Highlands, you are missing out! The ponies…
