This review was originally posted August 20, 2023. We updated it on July 24, 2025 after a second visiit to Mason’s. Some places just stick with you. When we first discovered Mason’s Brewing Company during our Bangor Brewery Crawl back in August 2023, we knew we’d found something special. So when we returned to Maine …
Sometimes the best discoveries happen when Plan A doesn’t work out. We originally had our hearts set on camping in Bar Harbor, but when that didn’t pan out because everything was booked, we found ourselves at the Bangor KOA in Holden, Maine. Honestly? We couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. Not only did …
During our summer 2023 New England road trip, we spent a few days just outside of Bangor, Maine in Holden at the Bangor KOA. As we often do, we opened up Google Maps and searched for “breweries near me,” and as luck would have it, we got a bunch of results, so we decided to …

Parker and I both love aquariums. So when we saw there was one in nearby Woods Hole when we were staying in Middleborough, MA during our August 2023 RV road trip, we decided to check it out. Plus, a visit to Cape Cod was on my to-do list for this trip, and Woods Hole just …
And, we’re off! We haven’t been able to do much camping so far this summer because of work, but we decided to make up for that with a two-week RV trip to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maine, and Connecticut. Our first stop is Hershey Road Campground in Elizabethtown, PA. Vince is bowling in a tournament at bowling …
We decided to stop at Troegs after visiting Chocolate World so we could get a quick bite before heading back to the campground. The tasting room is huge and they also have an outdoor seating area, but it looked like rain was coming so we went inside. First Impressions The tasting room is huge! There’s …
After a day of bowling for Vince and antique shopping for me and Parker, we were hungry! After the local Chinese joint didn’t pan out, we decided to try to find a brewery with food.
