Our grand adventure across America
After leaving Connecticut, we headed North to spend a few days in Massachusetts. We stayed at the legendary Normandy Farms campground and it did not disappoint! This was a true camping resort and was definitely the nicest place we’ve stayed while on this trip. Highlights for the kids were the bike track and RC car …
Hi, my name is Haddie. Today I’m going to tell you about the tide pools at Bar Harbor KOA. I found shells, clams, periwinkles, and even a LIVE CLAM!!! We kept seeing water shooting out of the sand. Mom looked it up and it was clams. They spit water to help them dig deeper. The …
