After the wedding festivities quieted, we were able to spend sometime with Grammy and Grampy catching frogs and exploring the North Maine Woods. We took a hike into the ice caves which were so cool, literally. They still had ice despite the warm summer we have had. All of the kids headed into the caves with minimal reservations.
After the caves we hiked a bit further down to the pond for a gorgeous view, a snack and some silly poses on the rocks. We were all pretty tired after the hike and ready for the ride home for supper. Until we got back on the paved road and this happened... not one, but two flat tires... it was a bummer. Luckily, Grampy Grampy had rented a minivan for the wedding and could come to pick us up fairly quickly. Unluckily, AAA couldn't find a tow truck to help us and told us to call back in the morning... Well, needless to say, I wasn't super happy with AAA when I called back in the morning to request "emergency roadside help" again. They sent someone this time and they kindly towed it to our favorite garage who went out of their way to fix the truck so we could be on our way home. So, for future reference, I now know that if AAA can't make it to help you, you can call your own tow truck and get reimbursed... I guess I am glad it took us 18 years of membership to find that out;) Our adventure certainly made the trip memorable and we were thankful to have such a great weekend to end our summer vacation!
