Our itinerary

We will visit all of New England with the exception of Vermont on this journey. Connecticut will also be a bit of a drive-by, but hey, it still counts.

We will start in Long Island, New York, visiting family at the beach. Next, we journey by ferry to Connecticut and drive to Newport, Rhode Island, land of the wealthy.

After an evening there, we will drive to Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire by way of Plymouth Rock to stay with dear friends in their summer home.

After New Hampshire, we will trek to Portland/Kennebunk/Kennebunkport, Maine to check out lighthouses.

Our New England journey will end with a visit to Boston, Massachusetts.

And as an added bonus, we will then fly to North Carolina to visit "nana."

25 Days & Counting...

Day 1

This is the beginning.

HM: 25 days ‘til the trip! I got new floors and LOVE them. I am SO excited. I got books all about the states I’m going to @ the library. I got into these books, the Ramona books, again, I got them @ the library. I’m going to dance camp this week and then soccer camp J. I'm having a great summer! I hate how we have the schoolwork.

VM: We have survived the first week of summer and it has been wonderful. Girls loved Humane Society camp and our only regret is that we can’t adopt all the doggies & kitties there.

We also survived the first half of our floor renovation. Thank goodness for Titi’s house. It allowed us to move out, reestablish our home office and transition smoothly, with no work interruptions. Now we have to complete detail work so we can move back in. We anticipate doing that at the end of the week.

We’re all getting excited about our New England journey. We wish papa could come along, but he says someone has to hold down the fort and he’s a bit overloaded with work. Girls and I are counting the days and having fun reading Hannah's state books….

  2. I think it's a great idea. We always take pictures while we are vacationing but, never really capture are thoughts. I can't wait to read everyone's blogs on their vacation experience.
