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!

Steamboat Natchez

By
Next time you are in New Orleans, you should ride on the last steamboat on the Mississippi River- the Natchez. It's a wonderful experience for all ages! The cruise lasts for 2 hours and take you down the Mississippi while providing information about area. Our cruise narrator told us about the levee system, cargo imports and exports, hurricane damages, even old battle grounds and the old Jackson Barracks! A unique view of Jackson Square on the top and New Orleans at the bottom! Visit Steamboat Natchez for more information and reservations!!

Potato Blossom Festival- Fort Fairfield, Maine

By
For the weekend of July 15-17 of this year I was able to experience the Maine Potato Blossom Festival! It was so much fun!! There were all of your typical festival activities like crafts, festival food carts, a 5K race, and a parade, but there were also events that I hadn't seen before like a human chess game (I was the white queen!) and a canoe race (couldn't take my camera along because the Saunders boys would have soak it). I was only able to take pictures during the parade but hopefully this gives you a snapshot of all of the fun that the festival had in store for us! The Saunders family loves watching the parade! There were tractors galore!! The governor of Maine, Paul LePage and a senator, Olympia Snowe walked in the parade! (In this picture, the governor had just darted to the left to shake more hands) and yes he shook my hand too! Matt wasn't as lucky :( But those clowns loved Matt! You can let that he was loving this picture too!! I liked this ne...

Pennington Balloon Festival

By
On August 6th and 7th, I went to the Balloon Festival in Baton Rouge! There were the festival must-haves such as the food vendors selling funnel cakes, turkey on a stick, coconut shrimp on a stick and many other foods that have no nutritional value at all,,,,, there were festival games such as a rock climbing wall and an inflatable human hamster ball thing.... and then there were the balloons!! Yummy!!! Josh was really into taking pictures as well It's starting to fill up!! Both nights were supposed to start with a mass ascension but they couldn't go up either night due to storm clouds being within a certain distance from the field. The highlight of both nights though was the balloon glow! We got to watch 20-30 hot air balloons fill up with air and then the announcer synchronized their fire lighting so that the field was filled with the lights from the balloons at once and then the balloons would all randomly flick their lights on and off. Both were so beautiful and t...
