vacatianagon

all of these pictures are backwards in chronological order, so if you want, you can start at the bottom and work your way. our trip(childless! thank you grammy and pop!) consisted of portland and mt. desert island in maine, new brunswick, portsmouth new hamshire, and long island ny. it was so nice to get away and have a good old fashioned road trip with people we love.
