Vacationing to Maine
One of the many reasons I love living in New Hampshire so much is because it offers so much without needing to travel very far. We have the mountains and we have the ocean, lots of lakes to swim in, trails to explore, small towns with vibrant art scenes and local businesses, all while still being within driving distance to cities like Boston or even New York. We also get to experience all four seasons—although winter tends to last much longer than any of the others. I rarely take trips outside of New Hampshire, because I've always been able to find everything I need right here at home.
It's no secret that I am a self-proclaimed homebody, but on occasion, I will find a reason to travel. It's a little embarrassing to admit, since it's so close, but I realized recently that I've only been to the coast of Maine maybe once in my entire life, and I was too young to really even remember it. After having arguably the busiest summer of our lives, my boyfriend and I decided to book a trip a few hours up the coast of Maine and take a true, well-deserved vacation.

Go on a Treasure Hunt, Solve a Riddle, Learn Some History & More as You Puzzle Your Way Through a Corn Maze
Hot buttered corn on the cob is one of summer's delights, but by the time fall rolls around, corn takes its turn providing endless fun for people of all ages as fields of corn are turned into artistic mazes.
Wandering through a corn maze provides a family-friendly hour or more of exploration, with twists, turns and unique discoveries at various checkpoints on the way to the exit. Most corn mazes also add on nighttime events that are more appropriate for adults as there's a scare factor involved in creeping through a cornfield where the stalks reach high over your head, the wind is blowing and clouds cover the moon!

Get Outdoors This Summer and Enjoy a Round of Golf
Centuries-old stick and ball games are generally thought to have preceded the game of golf as we know it today. The modern game of golf has its origins in 15th-century Scotland, and golf played over 18 holes first made its appearance in 1764 at Scotland's Old Course at St. Andrews.
Fast forward to the 21st century, and the National Golf Association estimates that "nearly 25 million people played golf on a golf course in the United States in 2020."
