Our kind of spur-of-the-moment approach to vanlife Our kind of spur-of-the-moment approach to vanlife meant we had no idea that Rockland Breakwater was a mile-long walk out to the lighthouse. Evie fell asleep in my arms almost right away, but I loved being so caught off guard by the beautiful challenge of carrying her while slowly navigating a seemingly unending path of granite rocks in the middle of Penobscot Bay. Remy was a good sport about making the trek (just as soon as he finished wading through small mountains of seaweed to spy on harbor seals). #rockland #maine #lighthouse #vanlife #familytravel #slowtravel #keepgoing #rocklandbreakwater #egretthevan #remyontheroad

On a 70-degree day in November, we rode from Bar Harbor to the Duck Brook Bridge trail and around New Eagle Lake and Witch Hole Pond. #carriagetrailsofacadia #mountdesertisland #biking #acadianationalpark #vanlife #remyontheroad #maine #familytravel

Battie in Camden Hills State Park and the best Thai food in Maine at @long_grain_camden. After a little detour to the pump track in Bath, we picked up chicken Pad Thai and steamed local pork dumplings and ate dinner in the van, which we parked on Atlantic Avenue overlooking the harbor. I’d go back to Camden for the Thai food as well as the turkey sausage omelet and waterfall perch at Marriner’s restaurant. At Laite Memorial Beach, Remy made rock art and we welcomed a local’s tip to walk the breakwater in Rockland on the ride back home. #camdenmaine #vanlife #camdenhillsstatepark #mountbattie #hike #familytravel #egretthevan #remyontheroad
After a restful night at South Port Marina, we dro After a restful night at South Port Marina, we drove to Portland Head Lighthouse, the first lighthouse to be completed under the government’s Lighthouse Act of 1789. Remy couldn’t wait to get out and ride, leading the way along the Cliff Walk from the lighthouse through Fort Williams Park. We refueled at @rwandabeancompany (h/t @blackownedmaine) and continued on up the coast to Camden. #nationalhistoriclandmark #portlandheadlight #cascobay #portlandmaine #vanlife #egretthevan #remyontheroad
