Our summer vacation, 1997
What we did on our summer vacation,
or
Maine, 1997 - The Year we Drove
What will follow here is a journal I kept before, during,
and immediately after our 1997 vacation in Maine. It marked our
third trip to the Pine Tree State, and also one of the most satisfying
weeks out family has spent together in a very long time.
I hope you enjoy my descriptions of the places and people
we met, as well as the slowly unfolding story of a week spent
together by three people who love one another very much. My work
has kept me away from my family far more than it should have lately,
so this was both a chance to explore Maine and also the two people
I love more than anything else on this planet, my wife Stephanie
and our daughter Kate.
I've tried to break the document into easily readable chunks
as I didn't want to discourage anyone right off the bat. The journal
consumed most of a blank book I bought before the trip, and is
reproduced here verbatim. There are a few sections which I have
chosen to omit, but those are only for personal reasons. All the
really good stuff is here, so please read on, and then let me
know what you think.
Thank You. Dan.
