Virginia to Maine

Hello from Maine! Yes we are in Maine- I can hardly believe it myself. We've put on a lot of miles since my last post but boy was it worth it! After we left Jamestown area we spent part of a day at a beach in VA, then we crossed the 20 mile Chesapeake Bay bridge, which was very cool. We stayed at a walmart that night, then visited Chincoteague/ Assateague Island. We were hoping to see large herds of wild ponies up close, but didn't get that lucky. We saw some at a distance though and they were very pretty. The beach at Chincoteague was beautiful! Stayed at a walmart again overnight. I'm yearning for a shower by now!!
We were planning to go to NYC next, but decided to skip that and head for Maine. We traveled most of the day then stopped at Salisbury beach campground in Massachusets and decided to stay for 2 nts cause it was cheap and the beach was great! The kids love the ocean and so do I but I'm still peeling from the sunburn I got at the first beach. What was I thinking, not wearing sunscreen?? On Monday morn we left for Acadia National Park in Maine and arrived at our campground around 1:00. We all fell in love with Acadia! It's a beautiful place and am so glad we came. We did a lot of hiking. We hiked a mile and a half all the way to the top of a mountain the first day. The veiws are amazing! We also visited all the neat places like Thunder Hole, Bubble Rock, Sand Beach and more. The weather has been super, no rain while we've been here. It gets cool in the nts though. We turned on the heat the last 2 mornings when we got up, as it was in the lower 60s in here.
This afternoon we are driving for a while then will very likely stop at- yes, walmart again. We're heading towards New Hamshire and Vermont, then New York, then to Middlebury IN! We want to be home by next Thur. or Fri. It'll be so good to go to Griner Church again!!!


A little taste of Acadia.

Eastern Journey So Far

     
Hello From Virginia!
    I'm finally at a comfortable place where I can get wifi, so I'll start at the beginning of this journey. We left Middlebury around noon of Wed. June 5, and drove a few hours and had a flat on our RV. (highlight of our trip!). Got that taken care of and drove into the nt. till  we were a few hrs from Hershey PA. We boon-docked at Walmart next to a few other campers. In the morning we met the one family and discovered they are full time rvers/roadschoolers also. They had three children- a girl Julianne's age. We are now 
e-mailing back and forth. 
    We visited Hershey Chocolate World and Gettysburg on the 6th, then drove to Brunswick MD to a campground, where we stayed for 4 nts. While there we visited DC, Antietam Nat'l Battlefield, and Harpers Ferry, WV. On Monday morning we left Brunswick and headed to Williamsburg VA. We are staying at Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center for 3 nts. (a very nice and quiet campground) Today we visited Jamestown, which was very interesting! Tomorrow we want to Visit Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg. I've taken a lot of pictures and will try to put some on here. 
This new way of life is different, and I wont lie- I've shed a few tears cause I missed my home, but I feel like I'm finally getting comfortable with it, and the camper feels like home. As long as all goes well, and we have no more flats, I think I can handle this life. Pray for us! God Bless!

                      Harpers Ferry- loved this place!
