Before we head out to the coast, I have to prep my mind. I’m not one for driving, so the hour and a half or two hour trips are big deal. All it takes is some looking around online at all the fun places we’ll visit and see and I’m pretty much ready to go. […]

One of my favorite pastimes is to travel around and visit different hotels and inns. Most of the inns I’ve seen and learned about have been located somewhere in New England. My favorites to date are the Blantyre in Lenox, MA, the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge and the Spring House Hotel on Block Island, […]

Now that I’ve shown you all those wonderful photos of the inside of Zeb’s General Store in North Conway, NH, I think I need to turn my attention to the Christmas Loft. I’ve seen photos and video of this store online and I thought it was worthy of a visit. After all, what’s wrong with […]

I’ve had this trip on my mind for some time now. Like many other folks out there, I tend to do much of my traveling via Google Earth. When I’m not actually in the car driving somewhere nice, I like to use “Street View” to see what an area looks like. I have fun doing […]

This post is a few weeks late. My apologies. I have had a huge folder full of photos sitting in front of me all this time and I’ve been procrastinating so much every time I look at it. Last night, I decided that today is the day. Fellow Mainers and interested parties around the world […]

We just got home from one incredible day. I love it when we do things that are completely unexpected. Today, we had to run back out to Bangor, Maine for some errands and when we were finished with them, we decided to make a few more stops. Since I had no idea what to expect […]

This was a really good one. I’ve been to some sugar houses in my day and I have to say that this particular sugar house was a lot of fun. I’m not sure if it was because of the energy of all the people inside of it or if it was because of all the […]

I’m so glad it snowed two nights ago and was sunny yesterday because it was the perfect setting for a visit to Farmington. Ever since I was a kid, I loved seeing the bright snow the day after. The sun definitely needs to be out because if it’s not, it’s just another day. If it’s […]

I had so much fun today. A few weeks ago, as I was browsing the Sugarloaf Mountain website for events, I learned that there was going to be a craft fair this weekend. If you aren’t familiar with Sugarloaf, I’ll tell you that it’s a gigantic ski mountain up here in Maine. It’s enormous and […]
