    Today is a travel day! We’re leaving Acadia, Maine, and the United States as a whole. By the end of the day, we expect to be in New Brunswick for a few days on our way up to see a few national parks up there. One such highlight is Gros Morne in New Foundland. Can’t wait!

    I’m done with meandering in spring. In prior years, we would drive 200 miles and park for a week, just to kill time until it warmed up enough up north. The idea was to pace ourselves and establish routine, but I am finding that sprinting to warmer places I want to be, and stay there much longer is proving to be a whole lot better for both routine and travel burnout.

    I have finished the first iteration of the GoPro camera mount for my Delta kite. Can’t wait to get it printed and try it out!

    Went on a hike today where the elevation changed by 450(!) feet in under 3 miles. It was very steep in some areas, and we had to go slow. The kids did so well! I snapped this photo while we were taking a break and it might be my new favorite photo of the family.

    Got the kite up to a full 500 feet with the camera attached but it was too wobbly to look good. I have some ideas on how I can stabilize it though. ????

    Today’s birthday shenanigans start with a Route 66 themed restaurant in Bar Harbor. Seems funny to have such a theme considering the route never came near Maine, but the food looks good and it’s really cool!

    I feel silly saying “lobster in Maine is good”, but omg. Lobster in Maine is SO GOOD.

  • We have made it to Acadia National Park in Maine! We will be here for a week, and I’m thrilled to be here! I took the time off and am really looking forward to seeing what many consider to be their favorite NP in the US.
