State Park visit #6 and family camping trip #2 brought us to Lake St. George State Park in Liberty, Maine. Full disclosure, this trip almost didn’t happen because of busy lives and some big life changes. Yet another wonderful lesson in learning how to roll with the punches. On top of an already busy summer with probably too many things planned in July and August, our coach and the mom (Danielle) started a new job. This has caused for longer…
Crescent Beach State Park has been our go-to spot on a warm summer’s day for many years now, so it was comical to think we had to visit this state park as a family to cross it off our list. We decided to treat it like we have always treated beach days. We watched the weather forecast all week and chose the better of the two weekend days. This is one of the many benefits of living so close to…
To celebrate Father’s Day weekend, we decided to take on our first state park camping adventure. 12 of the state parks across Maine have family campgrounds, so we plan to spend a night or two at each one.

Due to a rainy weather forecast we decided to visit Two Lights State Park because it is close to our home. On our way to the park, we made a stop at Scratch Bakery…
As most of you know, life with a new baby can be busy. With work, family visits and everyday responsibilities, there has been little time to get away. Last weekend, we had some time to get out and visit a state park, but of course our trusted meteorologists were predicting rain during our few free hours. The plan was to wake up Saturday morning and decide whether to go or not. With no rain in sight, we had decided that…
This is our first post so please bear with us in format and blogging skills. I’m sure there’s a Groupon for a blogging class but “aint nobody got time for that.” However, we would like to thank Chrystie Vachon for at least standing us up straight and showing us how to get started. Out of all the state parks in Maine, why did we pick Owls Head as the first to conquer as a family? That’s easy, we picked it because…
