Life In The Ali

The Big E is one of my FAVORITE festivals to go to. I used to go every year with my mom and sisters. I hadn’t been in 3 years so this was a nice treat! This year they are celebrating a 100 years! Each New England state has a state house that you can walk…

This past weekend I headed up to New England Outdoor Center in Millinocket Maine for one of my good friends wedding. This place is absolutely stunning! Millinocket Maine is definitely a hike but the New England Outdoor Center is definitely worth it! The Center has some of the most beautiful views of Mt. Katahdin. They…

Today we wandered over to Nauset Lighthouse which is in Eastham MA. The wind has been crazy today! The goal was to actually sample some of the Walden Hollow cider from Angry Orchard but as you can see it was so windy and also raining lightly. This lighthouse was originally in Chatham but they moved…

I lived in Portland Maine for 3 1/2 years before I moved to Connecticut. There is so much to do in Portland. Personally I think Portland Maine has some of the best food and beers in New England. I was only in Portland for the night so I don’t have much to show you guys.…

Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Maine. What makes the spot a little bit different is it surrounded by 60 acres of forest. They have beach cruiser bikes for guests to use at no charge and one of the most amazing restaurants called Earth to dine at.  Hidden Pond…

Kennebunk Maine is one of the cutest and cleanest little towns in New England. I stayed with one of my good friends and we did a lot of boating and exploring. The featured picture above is the York River clubhouse. This is a private club that requires a membership. This was my first time ever…

This past weekend I was in Maine visiting a bunch of old friends. I’ve been getting a ton of questions about Maine lately so its perfect timing. I was in Kennebunkport, Portland, Ogunquit and Freeport. The picture above of the sailboat going under the bridge is in a Ogunquit. We got there by boat and…

Mystic, CT is one of my favorite places in Connecticut. I’m in Mystic at least once per week for work so I wanted to share some photos with you that I took on Thursday morning. Morning is one of my absolute FAVORITE times to take pictures. The lighting is great and this specific area had…

  Some more shots from the weekend. We stopped at this little farm stand on the way back home from Skinner Mountain. Fresh corn and veggies were picked from their local farm and put on this adorable truck. Pay is based on the honor system, which is pretty rare these days! There is something I…

Today we ran some errands and decided to take a trip up to Skinner Mountain in Amherst MA. I hadn’t been there in 15 years! Skinner Mountain is home to more than 400 acres of forest on Mt. Holyoke. When you reach the top it overlooks the Connecticut River. There are several different hiking trails…
