With summer (maybe, I hope?) finally looming, I've got outdoor adventures on the mind. I'm going to be pregnant, so there won't be much room for strenuous crazy stuff. Plus, I've been thinking lately that our time in our New England state might be limited so it makes sense to really try to soak up the local area. Whether we end up moving in the near future or not, big trips abroad or across the country seem unlikely with a little one.
Kind of out of nowhere, I've ended up with a refreshed interest in the lighthouses covering our coastline. There's a huge range of architectural styles from different eras, and there are hundreds scattered up and down the coastline. I just love the symbology behind them and thought that The Boy and I could have a fun little new tradition of marking lighthouses off our list.
So I grabbed some local maps, and realized that there are way more to check off than I expected even just covering Maine. I'll have to do some narrowing down to decide which ones are located near other attractions we might enjoy.
My perfect vision? A warm day in the car, stops for local ice cream and savory picnic treats eaten in the salt air.
What's your favorite little family tradition that helps you explore your local area?
