June Currently

Hello, June!

Spring is on it's way out the door, summer is on the horizon and it's time for another monthly Currently catchup. Here's a peek at life lately...

{May Recap}

We spent the month of May fast-pacing our way north. We enjoyed time with family in Tennessee while we waited for Babe's computer to come in. From there we went to Pennsylvania and did a week in Gettysburg, then moved into NY for a week near Niagara Falls. Gettysburg was a very surreal experience. The park is so beautiful, but it's crazy to think about the amount of lives lost there and the history the ground holds. We also did our first Segway tour and LOVED it! Definitely our new favorite way to cover a lot of ground and history at once.

On our way to our week long spot in NY we stayed at a great boondocking spot for one night. Sugar Hill Fire Tower was so peaceful and the fire tower gave expansive views with a glimpse at the Finger Lakes. Plus it's close to Watkins Glen, which is definite must see!

From there we headed to Four Mile Creek State Park (highly recommend site 250). While our site wasn't directly on the water, it was private and backed up to a big field that leads right to Lake Ontario. We could see Toronto in the distance and sunsets we AHHHHmazing! Recommendations: Nearby Sanger Farms was a great lunch stop with delicious burgers and heavenly baked goods. We were only 25 minutes from Niagara Falls and spent the day exploring and getting drenched thanks to Cave of the Winds (a bit pricey, but worth it to experience the power of the falls cascading on your head). Visit The Saratoga Winery on your way out of NY. We stayed overnight in the parking lot; they have rainbow mimosas! And as if that wasn't enough, open-faced braised short rib sandwich- you're welcome!

Now onto June...

{Celebrating} That we made it to Maine!! This was our big bucket list state for this round of full-time RV life and we're here!! It was pretty foggy on the drive up US 1, but today the skies have cleared and our current park has a view of the ocean. We are planning to spend two weeks in Bar Harbor to explore Acadia National Park and then two weeks elsewhere- current destination unknown.

{Collecting} Keepsakes from each spot we've visited. Usually it's stickers for my Yeti, but I also collect rocks or cool pieces of wood to eventually turn into Christmas ornaments.

{Gifting} Do postcards count? Trying to send a handful out each place we go. Otherwise we're not big on gifting "things". We treat each other to nice dinners and are far more experience "gifters" when it comes to friends and fam.

{Thinking} That I am not sure how I feel about Dear Evan Hansen being made into a movie. The story is powerful, and honestly so needed in today's society. I saw the play a few years ago though and it completely wrecked me. As someone who has lost a sibling it can be very triggering. While the brother in Dear Evan Hansen dies by suicide, the sisters character very much mirrored my own story of losing my brother to a drug overdose. Be prepared to be wrecked by the Dear Evan Hansen movie either way, but if you have lost a sibling it can be even more triggering and I feel like you should be aware of that upfront. This video was made as my initial followup reaction to seeing Dear Evan Hansen.

{Trying} All the fresh seafood up in Maine! We had some delicious clam chowder and there's a lobster pound less than a mile from our RV park. We plan to ride bikes over there one evening for lobster rolls and to grab some fresh lobster to grill out one night. If you have never done garlic butter stuffed lobsters on the grill you need to give them a try!! We've never had them this fresh though so we are looking forward to it.

That's it for now! 

What does your world look like currently?!
