Hello there! Glad you stopped by.  My name is Danielle Hines and I’m a newlywed and a resident of Bangor, Maine.

The funny thing about locals is that we rarely seem to find wonder or excitement in the places that surround us.  We get caught in the rut of going from home to work, then home again, etc.  We spend months and months planning and saving for vacations to take us away from that very rut.  But this is Vacationland!!!  We are the destination that so many scheme for months to be able to come to.
Behold, I offer you an alternative: why not try adventuring right here in your home state? What better way to spend weekends and days off, than to take a short drive and experience something amazing.  So join me! Within the pages of my blog you’ll find date night ideas, quirky shops and stops, outdoor adventures, and unique destinations you never knew Maine had to offer.  Grab your coffee and lace up your Bean boots – together we’ll discover and explore this great state of ours.
