Winter Vacations Extended Six Weeks!

You probably woke up this morning thinking that spring was on your doorstep and it was time to start planning vacations accordingly (ah, spring break). Well, guess what, winter isn’t going anywhere.

Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s cutest weather forecaster, has seen his shadow and as such six weeks of winter has been added to the calendar. The famous groundhog lives in Punxsutawney, PA, and has been looking at shadows for years, so he knows what he’s talking about (squeaking?).

What are you going to do with more winter? Another ski trip? Ice fishing? Take the kids sledding? The possibilities are endless. Kind of like winter.

Enjoy.

Find Peace and Quiet in Stonington, Maine

Lobster Boats in Stonington Harbor.

Lobster Boats in Stonington Harbor.

Stonington Maine is a tiny fishing village in mid-coast Maine. It is not as heavily trafficked by the tourist population as many other coastal towns, which makes it a perfect peaceful getaway by the sea. It is also uniquely positioned to act as a base point for other coastal Maine communities and activities. Stonington is just an hour and a half away from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, has a boat service to Isle au Haut, and is an hour away from Penobscot.

The thing I love about little seaside villages like Stonington is that they’re a throwback to the way life is supposed to be. Friendly neighbors, tidy households, and an appreciation for the visitors who support the commerce of the area. The landscape is unspoiled, the food is fresh and plentiful, and the village shops sport uniquely crafted gifts that will make you eager to plunk down your credit card. The residents are more than happy to point you in the direction of the nearest attractions, and are just as happy to allow you to sit in peace and soak up the sights. Personally, one of my favorite occupations in Stonington is to just sit at the edge of the harbor and watch the comings and goings of the lobster and fishing boats.

A Fishing Story

Standing room only.

This would have been a fishing story, but it’s a Wordless Wednesday entry and they tend to frown on such things, namely the word part.

You’ll just have to trust me that this gentleman is fishing in Esteban, Galicia in Spain, and let the picture tell a thousand words (give or take a few hundred).
