  • Five days in Bar Harbor, Maine–Acadia Loop trip

    Five days in Bar Harbor, Maine–Acadia Loop trip

Dragging the Airstream down narrow, low-clearance, steephilly New England roads was completely worth it: Bar Harbor, and specifically Acadia National Park, is a spectacular vacation destination. We ate an absurd number of lobster rolls, drank as much local beer as we could get…

    One night in Hershey, PA–Acadia Loop trip

    We visited Hershey in May 2019, as part of our trip to Acadia National Park. Our first real target destination on our road trip to Acadia was J’s mom’s house in Beverly, MA, but we didn’t want to do the drive from VA to MA with the Airstream all in one day. Hershey, PA sits…

    One day in Omaha, NE–Big Trip #2

    We were in Omaha in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We were in Kansas City, headed for Denver, so it seemed the logical next stop was Omaha. Neither of us knew much about the city, other than the College World Series is held there (because we come from a school that won…
