Glacier National Park

While in Montana I had the chance to hike up to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park with my sister and my niece. It was a perfect day for hiking and we had a great time. This is one of my favorite places to be because it is a feast for the senses. You have the sight of the gorgeous turquoise lake and all it's amazing surroundings, the smell of pine trees, the feeling of the crisp mountain air, and the sound of waterfalls rushing down the mountains. I guess the taste sense is fulfilled by whatever yummy snack you choose to refuel with after the hike up there. In my case it was raspberry fruit leather, old and tough, but still pretty tasty!

It was a cloudy day, but Mother Nature gave us a few hints of blue sky.

Isles of Shoals

Last Sunday we took a sight seeing cruise out to the Isles of Shoals. They are a set of small islands off the coast of New Hampshire. We had fabulous views of the bridges, lighthouses and Navy Yard from the ship. We were also able to stop off at one of the islands for about one hour. It was super fun exploring Star Island. There is a beautiful old hotel there as well as many adorable little homes. It was a great experience even though we both got a little sun burnt. Note to self, next time do not forget the sunscreen!

Old Orchard Beach

We drove up to Old Orchard Beach in Maine during our New England stay. It is a fun little beach town with an awesome pier and beach side amusement park. Too bad it's past the summer season and everything is closed. They still made for excellent pictures though!

New England Excursions

Fort Mcleary is just outside of the quaint little New England town of Kittery, Maine. It has an excellent vantage point of two of the area lighthouses. It is also, as the name implies, a cool old fort with nifty buildings and bunkers. We got some awesome shots this day. The clouds and lighting were absolutely perfect. We stopped at a spot in New Castle, New Hampshire on the way home to get the last fabulous shot of the cute, colorful little houses reflected in the water. It was so much fun being back in New England. We love this place!
