Vacation Time!

It is a B-U-S-Y week here at the Landis house! We are trying to prepare for our 2 week vaction to NE! We leave Friday and head to Quakertown PA where Matt will play in a golf tournament with his brother on Saturday and we'll leave from there on Sunday to head to Vermont and then on into New Hampshire!
If you're interested; these are the hotspot links for our trip!

White River Junction, Vermont - an Historic Railroad town in Hartford, VT
Franconia Notch State Park (NH)
Kancamagus Hwy (NH)
Mt. Washington (NH)
Arethusa Falls/ Crawford Notch State Park (NH)
Acadia National Park (ME)
Coastal Drive along Rt. 1 - (ME)
LL Bean (ME)
Boston (MA)

We will be doing lots of hiking and spending time in the State and National Parks; this is something we enjoy doing as a family and we are excited to try out Kaitlyn's new Kelty aluminum frame back carrier... she seems to like it OK around the house! Surely when we are hiking and she has so much to look at, she will be quite content to just 'tag' along with us :)
Of course we are also doing a lot of sight seeing as we travel along the Coast of Maine- seeing light houses and more!

We will travel a minimum of 1950 miles, but with only a couple of days of long periods of time in the car! We are looking forward to the week in VT, NH, and ME with the three of us as well as a week in Boston with Matt's family, where we've rented a house outside of Boston! The boys will be going to a Red Sox game and we will be doing parts of the Freedom Trail and enjoying lots of the historic sights in Boston!

So... off to finishing gathering needed items around the house and to seriously start pulling things to pack, as the rest of our week is filled with work and meetings :)

And a big, HUGE THANK YOU to our house/Buxton sitter while we are gone! We couldn't do it without him! Of course he will be quite spoiled with all the freezer meals I've prepared for him to have while he stays here! We may have a hard time getting him to go back home when we return :) .... right Folmar?!

Blessings,
