Hello loves! For those of you who follow me on any form of social media, you've probably heard about/seen many photos of my journey. I am currently relaxing in the home of my maternal grandparents, which happens to be a quaint little house in the small town of Dexter, Maine. Despite it's small size, this town has so many hidden gems and beauties that can make for big adventures. Even though I still have a couple of days left here before returning home, a lot of wonderful things have occured that I feel I should share with you on this media form. //
A couple days ago, I went on a little hike in an area called Moxie Falls, which was about a two hour drive, with pit stops. We first stopped at a cute little bakery, where I got an apple popover and vanilla coffee for breakfast (I chose apple because, you know, autumn). Our second pit stop was to Subway, where we got sandwhiches and sodas and stuff to eat for lunch later. We put them in the cooler, and continued our journey to the falls. We arrived around 11, and headed onto the trail. My sister and I spent most of our time taking photos, and trying to notice the little details of the natural scene around us. Abby (who is absolutely amazing at photography),!took some wonderful shots of bugs, spiderwebs, and the centers of flowers. I, on the other hand, am an amateur photographer, but still ended up with some pretty cool photos.
My favorite part of Moxie Falls, and perhaps the most beautiful part, is the waterfall. I could've sat there, listening to the water rush downstream, hitting against the rocks as it fell and mindlessly lapping at itself, for hours (I couldn't though, because 9 year old cousin and your near-80 grammie, ya know). //
Nature is beautiful, like, really really fucking amazing, so, we didn't want to return home immediately, so we stopped at a "scenic location" so Abby and I could take some portraits of one another in feilds of flowers, and eat our lunch. The perfect ending to a perfect day. //
A cute lil boutique recently opened in downtown Dexter, so we went there and I bought some cute items. (Maybe I'll do a Maine Haul video... comment on this post if you want me to!) We basically just did a lot of shopping, and that's cool. //
Today is a lot less jam-packed; we've kinda just sat around all morning (though we may go on a "party boat" later. Basically, there are so many wonderful things you can fill your life with, and so many opportunities and adventures to seize. I encourage you to fill your life with what makes you happy, because you'll lead an existence that's a whole hell of a lot more meaningful.
