Monhegan Island

Image
Monday was a spectacular (and spectacularly tiring) day! We boarded the ferry to Monheagn Island first thing, and I made sure not to eat anything so I wouldn't toss my cookies (or coffee or breakfast) into the sea or onto Kef's lap. I practiced dad's mantra of picking a spot on the horizon and focusing on it, and that really worked. Plus, we were on the top deck in the fresh, open air. The card Kef presented to me that morning promised a shipwreck and a lighthouse, and so I was ready to go find them as soon as we got there. But first: food. We stopped at The Fish House first thing and sat near the water to eat our crab roll, clam chowder, lobster bisque, and fish tacos. All were excellent, but Kef said the lobster bisque was the best she'd ever had! We set out to find the restrooms before further hiking. This is an all-walking island, for the most part, so we were on foot for the entirety. We then split up for a little while as Kef wanted to look in some of the gallerie...

North Haven to Troy

We spent Friday morning wandering around North Haven. After a hearty breakfast at Nebo, we headed back out to Turner Farm, where they'd let us know that we could walk out to the beach from the parking area near the barn where we'd had dinner. This was a great place to see the Goose Rock Lighthouse, #42 on our trip. We also stopped at the farm stand, which wasn't open the night before, and I picked up some maple cranberry granola and a handful of beets.  We wandered around the island, enjoying the beautiful views, before heading back to the ferry. After claiming our reserved spot (no worries about not making it on this time), we checked in at the office and then wandered on. We scoped out the options at The Landing, but didn't find anything we really needed, and then headed over to Hopkins Wharf Gallery, a little gift shop and art gallery a couple of doors down.

Maui!

Image
How sad is it that it's been so long since I've traveled that I forgot I have a travel blog?!  I'm with my college friend Amy in Maui, my first real vacation since COVID shut us all down in March 2020. This is my first trip to Hawaii and we're just beginning our second full day... and it's Easter Sunday!  Looking out from our room, it looks to be a beautiful day. We started the morning with lavender scones and Maui Pie coffee from yesterday's outings. I'll back post about those activities later.  Today we plan to visit the Maui Ocean Center aquarium, a lighthouse, a beach, and possibly a farmer's market. Stay tuned!
