Favorite Place

Growing up, my family would visit Acadia National Park in Maine and squeeze into a single small tent along with our family dog (a great dane). Today, I try to create similar memories camping in the Adirondacks with my kids (but with more space). One of our favorite campsites is Putnam Pond Campground where our favorite experience is reaching a site only accessible by hike and paddle. Nothing gives me greater inspiration than seeing my kids collect sticks to cook marshmallows, look for animal prints, and enjoy everything that comes with being in nature.
