Several years ago, my husband and I had a conversation about we wanted to do when our kids got older and moved out of our house and into their own. I told him that I wanted to travel the US in an RV. I still think of that to this day. Have you ever felt like your love for something could become more than just a hobby?

I have had Maine on my bucket list for a while now. When I was researching places in Maine I immediately thought of Portland because thats the city people most talk about. However I knew immediately that I wanted to visit Acadia National Park and saw that Bar Harbor was super close.

Traveling as we have gotten older looks a little different. In our 20's it was like a mad rush to try and see as many things as we possibly could. Or our destinations looked a little different. However now we operate at a little slower pace, and we are choosing experiences over exhaustion.🍷🍪🍽A couple of examples of this could be a wine tasting or food tour where you are connecting with locals.🏖Another option could be relaxing at a beach or pool with a rented cabana or a hammock.🛳🛥Last example would be a river cruise or renting a boat for the day.

When your middle age approaches, and you are at the point that your kids are pretty self sufficient something changes in you. The desire to be a little different. At least for me it did. I needed a change.

Welcome to my Simple Escapes page. My name is Melissa and I have just started my own travel blog. I'm geared towards for the middle-aged crowd. I just turned 52 and I am a previous stay at home and my children have hit the point where they don't need me/us anymore. I have a 21-yr old and a 17-yr old who is a senior in high school.
