September!

September was really good to us. We wanted to cram a bunch of adventures in before the holidays and of course...the impending winter season. So we finally took the ferry to Peaks Island, bussed to Boston and once again, borrowed our lovely friend's car to make the trip to Acadia National Park. Here's some pictures..

Peaks Island

So we have every Tuesday off together. It's the only day I have off now that I'm working two jobs so we take advantage of them! Peaks Island is just off the coast of Portland and there's a ferry that runs ALL the time so I'm not sure how we've just gotten out there. But it's beautiful and such a quaint little Maine island and we will be visiting again.

Boston



Boston is a short and cheap bus ride from us so we thought it would be a nice day trip. What a great city it is. We've both never been so it was nice to experience a new place together. Beacon Hill was my favorite part of the city and if someday we strike gold we will live there. At least for a little while as we seem to be nomadic.

And then there was Acadia.. We left bright and early Monday morning (I somehow lucked out and got two days off at Starbucks!) and headed up the coast on Route 1 in our friend's beautiful station wagon. We didn't have any plans as to where we would stay or what we would do but we knew hiking a mountain was a priority. We hiked Pemetic Mountain, stood too close to the cliffs on the coast, and stayed in a sleezy motel (as a fear came over me that by sleeping in a car in the woods I was setting myself up to be a character in a Stephen King novel). It was a beautiful two days and I am so happy we got to experience such an amazing part of the coast.

 

In conclusion, we live in an incredible part of the country and so much is within our grasp to discover. We struck gold when we pointed at a map and chose Portland, Maine as our move destination! Thanks for reading, as always.
