Alabama to Acadia: Life on the Magic Bus

Ed and I are embarking on an exciting journey to fulfill our dreams of exploring the magnificent Acadia National Park in Maine. Together, we are savoring and surviving every moment as we travel through the beautiful North - Northeast in our Magic Bus, 2018 Thor Windsport 3J. Our adventures are even more memorable because we have our dog, Toby, and our two spicy cats, Leo and Ginger, along with us. They are seasoned travelers and settle into our road routine. One of the best things about RV travel is the ability to bring your pets.
