On Saturday (6/17), we headed out to the botanical garden, which was an easy subway ride from our hotel. The place is huge – there’s also an insectarium and a biodome you can visit – I don’t know how people do it. We managed maybe a quarter of the outside gardens, and

One of the joys of being that far out of town is the lack of light pollution. I finally had a chance to try my starry skies setting on my camera. I forgot my tripod (well, BF’s tripod), so the best shots were definitely the ones I had laying on the deck

In an effort to avoid the black flies once the sun came out, we headed over to Schoodic, on the coast, and did baby’s first hike on the Anvil Trail. (Which had a bit more of a slope than what C had found online, but baby M had a grand old time in her
