Back in June, for David’s birthday, we took the kids up to Monson, ME to visit the hostel owner’s of Shaw’s Hiker Hostel, who have quickly become good friends of ours. We attempted to hike a small mountain, not on the Appalachian Trail, called Borestone. Unfortunately the little legs couldn’t make it more than a … Continue reading Borestone Mountain – Take 2

Camel’s Hump & Mt. Mansfield
I’d say this hike that we did in October was a 50% success. We were able to summit Camel’s Hump, but we got on trail too late on Sunday to make it up Mt. Mansfield. Since this was back in October, I don’t have all of the details, but I can recall the important points.We … Continue reading Camel’s Hump & Mt. Mansfield
Hiking Mt. Madison
Ah, the November hike that didn’t quite go as we had hoped. We even changed things up and drove up to NH late on Friday evening so that we would get an early start on Saturday morning. The weather was really cold and there was snow on the mountain, but there was no wind and … Continue reading Hiking Mt. Madison

Well, my weekly updates did not pan out as I had wanted them to. Haha. But I am still training for the half and it's actually going really well! In addition to running, I also joined Orangetheory Fitness at the beginning of August. When I train long distances I tend to overlook the importance of … Continue reading Half Marathon Training Update
Mt. Moosilauke
This month’s hiking trip didn’t go quite as planned, but I was still able to summit a mountain that I hadn’t done before. David had hiked it a couple of times (the most recent was his bachelor party before we got married in 2008!). So needless to say, it had been a while for him. … Continue reading Mt. Moosilauke
Weekend Hiking in Vermont
For the remainder of 2021, David and I have planned to go hiking at least one weekend a month, just the two of us. For the month of July, we headed up to southern Vermont. And thankfully the rainy weather kept away a lot of the crowds. We didn’t mind the rain at all. It … Continue reading Weekend Hiking in Vermont
