After returning to Maryland and back to regular life. It’s hard to beat the amazing two weeks spent on Mount Desert Island in Maine. Everything here seems so mundane and my memories are so fresh of wonderful moments on the island. During my stay, I didn’t share that […]
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring…. Woke up to rain, and it is still raining later on in the day. The island is crying as it doesn’t want me to leave. Nor do we want to go. But Maryland is calling, and the ponies miss […]
Wonderland is a unique place to explore during low tide.
