When we begin a trip, at first, it feels like we are on vacation. After a few weeks, it doesn’t feel like vacation anymore, but kind of like we are on a grand adventure. After adventuring for a few months, we end up in areas where we settle into a routine and it almost feels like we live there. Even though the state slogan for Maine is Vacationland, once Mark and I got things set up at Camden Hills State Park, we were thankful we’d made reservations to stay for a while!
We have a huge shady campsite about 500 yards from the ocean. Nearby Camden has a YMCA that honors our membership at home, so I have free access to a lap pool, yoga and spin classes almost every day. There is a multi-use trail system, at the park, so we can do morning dog walks from our campsite. Even doing chores like restocking our cooler or getting laundry done are easily scheduled on days we’d normally do laundry and grocery shopping at home.
Traveling for long stretches of time and staying for a while in one place, allows you to get, at least a glimpse, of what it might be like to actually live in “vacationland.”
