Somehow, despite growing up and living in New England my entire life, I never visited Acadia National Park. Thankfully that changed last fall when Haley and camped there with Trey and Elonna, and of course, the dogs. We had a wonderful weekend enjoying the beautiful fall foliage. An early hike up Cadillac provided a wonderful view of sunrise. The dogs had a wonderful time going for walks, swims, and taking naps together. I also got to ride the carriage roads for the first time and found them…

Last August we spent the week down with the Merlos in Eastham on Cape Cod. It was an awesome vacation full of beaches, rockets, and sunrises/sunsets. The week kicked off with playing fetch in a local field with Tucker Giglio. It was a bit chilly from the clouds and wind but still had lots of fun running and splashing in the surf at First Encounter beach. Made a day out of Marconi Beach, which being 🐕 friendly meant Sandy could join us. Another 🐕 friendly area was my personal favorite swimming…

This past May the Merlo clan camped at the Mohawk State Forest. Much fun was had hiking and playing and being with family. I snuck in an ambitious bike ride (was hoping to get all the way into Vermont but the Berkshire climbs are no joke), and Sandy did really well on her first nights camping.
