My family has been couped up in the house for weeks and so we decided to drive to
Northern Aroostook County. St. John Valley, which is the more popular name of the whole
big area that has been a great outdoor vacation destination. We found out that the valley is
host and watershed to Van Buren, Allagash, Eagle Lake, Sinclair and other communities.

At first we wanted to do some water sports in Moosehead Lake at Greenville Maine to go
fishing, hunting, camping boating all at once but we changed our minds. We only had 3 days
and the kids wanted to go camping and I wanted to go shopping. So we distributed our
vacation days. We went to Southern Aroostook County to catch a glimpse of the falls, went
to Somerset County to shop and had a blast at Acadia National Park trying out its outdoor
recreational facilities. My kids even beat their dad to make fire at the camp. It was so much
fun letting lose in the wilderness sometimes.

We plan to go to the Moxie Festival and watch the Great Falls Balloon Festival next time we
can take a break. The kids would love to watch those floating hot-air balloons that they only
see on TV.
