Our next adventure starts tomorrow. I’m leaving work early and we’re driving up to Acadia National Park (in Maine). It’ll be a 4.5+ hour drive and we’re staying in a cabin that our friend, Scott, scored for the week. From what I can tell, this place is in the middle of nowhere. The cabin has three bedrooms, one bathroom, a deck and kitchen\/living\/dining area. Oddly, the layout requires that you exit the main portion of the house and walk outside to get to the bedrooms and bathroom. <\/p>\n
I suppose I should be thankful that it has an enclosed\/attached bathroom at all. The last time I visited this area was in the early 90’s with my friend, Melody. We visited her brother who lived year-round outside the park. He lived on a dirt road in the woods. His home had an outhouse that was quite far from the actual house. The bathtub was in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Anyway, at least our place has running hot and cold water. It does NOT have a phone or TV…but that’s what cell phones and laptops (with DVD’s) are for!<\/p>\n
It should be fun. To be honest, I’m kind of hoping we get a wash-out of a rainy day at least once. One of my favorite vacation memories was up in the White Mountains with my friends, Ben and Brad. Ben’s familiy has a lovely house overlooking the mountains. It rained so hard that we spent nearly the entire day on the wrap-around porch either napping in the hammock, playing card games, listening to music, or reading. I can’t recall the last time I felt that relaxed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
