Travel, Family & The Best Things in Life
We often like to break up the travel time by stopping at a destination midway to get in a little walk and a bite to eat. So on our way to Acadia National Park while coming from Massachusetts the obvious target was Ogunquit. Located just a short drive off I 95 and only three and a half hours from Acadia, […]
Portland Head Light located on Cape Elizabeth, Maine is the picture perfect quintessential New England Lighthouse straight out of a postcard.

An easy 1.6 mile hike through winding wooded paths and leading to the shore with no one around was exactly what we needed after coming from a crowded and slightly and pushy Thunder Hole crowd. There is a little parking lot on […]
