Our First Day in Maine

It rained all night and is really cool today - cloudy and windy with temps in the low 60s. That didn't stop us from getting out and exploring first thing this morning though! We headed out armed with sweatshirts, a picnic lunch and a map,


Our first stop was Wells Beach, which is under 2 miles from our hotel. We initially scoped things out from the stroller,



And then we walked a bit until we found a public access spot through which we could navigate the double stroller.


S&Z were ready to explore!







It was time for lunch so we set out to find a good picnic spot. We had passed Wells Harbor Park when driving around Drakes Island earlier in the day so we decided to head back there for lunch. Everybody was hungry after taking in so many new sights!




There was a really nice playground adjacent to the picnic area.



Then we walked over to see the boats.


Here is the view of Wells Harbor - quite a bit calmer than the ocean side!



It was a really nice, quiet little spot. We were the only ones there, which is pretty magical in such a tourist-y area!




After a really fun morning spent exploring, it was time to head back to the hotel for baths and a nap! Traveling with twin toddlers is really fun but also a ton of work. Time to sign off for a nap myself!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
