This was our second summer spent hanging out at Old Orchard Beach. We love to dip our toes into the ice cold New England waters when it’s hot & humid on the sand, return to our favorite spots and discover new sites as well. We also hit up spots in New Hampshire that are along…

We got to the beach at 9AM and left at 3PM. It was nice to listen to the waves, dip our toes into the freezing cold waters when it was getting a bit too warm, walk along the shore and get some nap and reading time in. Summer has officially begun.

During winter break, the family and I made a trek to MASS MoCA. We booked a one night hotel stay close by before continuing on to Albany, NY. This museum…art compound…is simply stunning.

Hotel Booking

My husband books all our hotels because I have no standards. I once booked us a room that had questionable outlets and a window you could step out of. So it’s funny when he feels the need to run a room by me.

It’s been so nice to unplug even if it was just for a week. The only apps I used was IG and FB to share vacation photos. The family – my folks included – spent time in Atlanta, GA exploring the stunning aquarium, playgrounds, puppet theatre, natural history museum, railway museum, children’s museum and most…
