Moosehead Lake

By
Another day trip that we took while in Maine was to hike Mount Kineo at Moosehead Lake. As you can see from the Google Maps picture, we were basically on an island on the middle of the lake. We took a ferry over to the mountain. People who ride the ferry either hike up Mount Kineo or play golf on their beautiful golf course which is right beside the mountain.


The hike was pretty steep in some parts. Josh, his brother Matt, his dad and I roughed it on the 1 mile hike up the mountain. There were spectacular views of the lake all of the way up the trail!
At the peak of the mountain, there was a fire tower that's still in use! We walked up all 4 flights of stairs and ate lunch on top of the tower. We were taller than all of the trees around us! I was a little scared especially when you could feel the tower shake when other people walked up and down the stairs.It was a very enjoyable day hike and I would recommend it to anyone if you ever take a trip up to northwestern Maine!

Hawaii, Maui, Road to Hana

By
I am planning to blog about my recent trip to Hawaii in a series of posts. There was so much to see and do that I do not think one post would do justice so I'm starting at the beginning! I went to Hawaii with a friend and co-teacher from school, her sister, her sister's friend and her sister's friend's mom. Confused yet? From now on they will be Amber, Kimberly, Val and Ms. Anne. We flew into Maui pretty late the first night so we stayed in a hotel near the airport. Amber left her wallet at home so she didn't travel with us, found the next set of flights to Hawaii and met back up with us at noon the next day. This was wonderful because we were all so tired and had a lazy morning before picking Amber up. Palm trees were everywhere and they were beautiful! The weather was awesome perfect for the entire week that I was there!! It was so cool to see mountains and beach so close together! It was pretty windy by the water so I had to hold onto my hat!

Hawaii, Maui, Haleakala National Park

By
Being a recreation and leisure studies major in college, I've always enjoyed national and state parks. Hawaii has so many national parks to enjoy! On our way into Hana (after the long drive) we stopped at Waianapanapa State Park. We walked to the Waianapanapa Caves where legend has it that a king once murdered his wife when she was hiding from him. Every year, millions of shrimp come in and turn the water red which the legend says it a testimony to this tragedy. The black sand beach was gorgeous! I was here!   We were able to walk into this cave and watch the waves come in. Then we climbed through a space in the rocks and sat on the outside of the cave. The waves sounded like thunder when they crashed into the cave. The sound reminded me of Thunder Hole at Acadia National Park.  We loved using my Gorillapod on this trip! I recommend it to anyone!! The next day we headed to the coastal side of Haleakala National Park...

Acadia National Park

By
On a recent trip to Maine to visit Josh's family, we visited Acadia National Park which is located right on the coast on Mount Desert Island. The views were breathtaking! When we first arrived to the park, we started traveling down the Loop Road which takes you all around the island and has many great stops along the way. The first stop was Cadillac Mountain. The fog was so intense on top and visibility wasn't too great. On the way down the mountain, we saw this beautiful view on the left. We loved watching the fog glide over the islands. It was so pretty! The cute little town of Bar Harbor (pronounced Bah Hah -Bah) can also be seen in these pictures. We later went down into the town to walk around. There are quaint little shops and restaurants everywhere, a park in the middle of the town and of course the harbor. It's very picturesque and I know I could have spent a whole extra day exploring just the town! Josh's dad is a certified Maine guide so he knew many little se...
