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.
