Talking about the White Mountains, NH

Here’s the video Becky took on the trail. 

We now think it’s pretty funny, but maybe you had to be there 

Acadia National Park Pictures

Here are are pictures from Acadia National Park. It was nice to get some more rustic camping in after spending the last few stops in the city. We needed to decompress and everyone was a little bit on edge and grumpy this stop. We stayed at the Seawall campground in Acadia which was a big campground but not many spots were taken so it was pretty quiet. The first day we went sea kayaking with the Maine State Sea Kayak company. That was great but as always with our sea fairing ventures I didn't get any pictures of that part of the trip. Trust me it was awesome and if you're in the area I'd highly suggest it.  Kayaking was fairly easy as they had the wind pushing us along, a little wavy at times but was part of the fun. We saw seals and being out on that small of a craft was very cool. Anyway here are the pictures I did capture of our trip. Beehive trail was also very fun but there was a lot of worry and complaining that maybe we shouldn't be on the trail since Lucas is very afraid of heights (they had quite a few warnings) and we weren't billy goats.  It was fine and everyone had fun at the end.

It's been a while since we had a campfire. They had neat brick fire pits at the Seawall Campground

Roads were terrible on mount desert island. The camper was tore apart on the inside (drawer font off of drawer and laying on the floor and cabinet doors busted apart at the seems) and stuff was everywhere. We spent the first hour literally putting the camper back together.

Start of the Beehive trail, started pretty easy

Got a little harder with some rock scrambling

Then got a little scarier with some drop offs

And finally putting it all together but at least there were metal rungs to assist with the ascent

Reached the summit

And enjoyed the views

 

On the way down Sam did his best koala impression

 

Rebecca on Sandy Beach. The beach and Beehive trail share the same parking lot so we just walked down after our hike to check out one of Maine's rare sandy beaches.

It was great we could sit and watch the Ocean forever

 

At Thunder hole, this is the real walkway that was closed because it was too dangerous.

So everyone there just fanned out to the rocks on either side which I'm sure were much safer

 

View from Cadillac mountain, we didn't make it up to see the sunrise there but still great views

A little taste of Sandy Beach

Talking Acadia Maine

Here’s our vlog entry (is that how to say it?) for Acadia National Park Maine. Anywho, here ya go, the Munsch’s take on Maine.

Hmm. No picture. Weird.

Cape Cod and Boston Pictures

Here are some pictures from our stay at Scusset Beach Reservation in Massachusetts. Becky's parents meet us there and we hung out for a few days.

Our shadows on the rock, really thought it would be bigger.

Waiting forever for a train

Lucas looking thrilled riding the rail. The derailed train tainted his view of Bostons rail system, he liked the NYC subway better because we didn't have to wait as long

Poor shot of the derailed train

In Boston

Tea Party anyone?

And we're walking...

And walking...

So much walking.

Crossing the bridge, hoping we make it to the USS Constitution in time

We made it in time to check it out, was close we got kicked off when they were closing up.

View in that hole

And finally, the head of the ship

 

Made it to the end at Bunker Hill

 

Subway ride home, everyone is exhausted.

Subway ride after the game was packed

Our last day it rained so glad we hit the beach for a little while the day before.

Marcus and Samus geared up in rain suits to play at the park for a while.

Before we left we checked out the river by our campground
