July 12 is my Birthday. Hooray. I'm going to be 25 years old. I'm still getting ID'd when I try to buy a drink, so being an adult is looking good so far. It just dawned on me that I didn't talk about June 2007 in this blog.
Here's a recap:
Marissa and I set off on a road-trip in the North East United States in early June, and things got off to a rocky start. Due to an illness we had to return home after only two or three days camping in Vermont. The spot we found next to Kill River was beautiful and free, so that's a plus.
After Marissa felt better, we drove to Virginia Beach, Busch Gardens (VA), and Washington DC to visit my sister, Tracy. After that, we took a lovely trip up the Susquehanna river to get home, re-pack and plan the next (last) leg of our trip.
The third and final leg began heading east on Route 20 all the way to Boston where we met up with my old friend Rachel Luck who took us to a great Thai restaurant. Boston was nice, but the 'thrift' stores we found weren't exactly for the thrifty. It worries me to think that people actually spend $50 on a t-shirt. Following Boston was my personal favorite part of the trip - MAINE!
If you ever get the chance to go to Maine, do so. I want to live there. We found a great Bed & Breakfast called the Bluff Inn next to the ocean opposite Bar Harbor. They serve great breakfasts and the view is great! Check them out on the web at www.bluffinn.com.
Sure, there were a lot of bugs, but the scenery was worth the bites. Acadia National Park is all it's cracked up to be.
After staying in Maine for three days, trying lobster and counting 'cappys' along the highway, we decided to head back by way of Vermont, to stay at our old campsite again.
When we got back from our trip, we unpacked and picked up our kitten, whose name had been difficult to agree upon until we stumbled upon 'Gato.' If I ever figure out how to put a picture up, I'll definitely put one up of that little turd.
June was fantastic. Whoever doesn't like June is a sucker. And Maine, too.
Happy Birthday to me.
