We arrived in Camden, Maine after a long drive. For whatever reason (bathroom breaks, hunger riots, etc) a five hour drive typically takes us eight. We’re staying at Camden Hills State Park. When we checked in the ranger took one look at our (small) camper and said she was pretty sure it wouldn’t fit in the site we’d reserved. After scoping it out for ourselves, we agreed. Thankfully they were able to move us to a huge site they set aside and don’t put up for reservation, presumably for when this inevitably happens. With no hookups, it’s taking some adjusting from the relative luxury of our last few full hookup sites.

When we woke up for our first full day in Camden it was raining and freezing. After a few hours everyone was getting grumpy and our camper was feeling claustrophobic, so we decided to head out for lunch, shopping and a movie.

When he was 4 or so Phineas was OBSESSED with Toy Story and especially Buzz Lightyear. He had all the toys, the action figures, and even dressed up as Buzz for Halloween 2013. We’d been seeing ads for Buzz’s feature film, Lightyear, so it was a no brainer to see it. The movie was awesome. Very meta for original Toy Story fans. Almost as awesome was the quarter pusher arcade machine at the theatre.

When we got back to camp it was dark and even colder. Our camper battery has kicked the bucket, so we can’t use the furnace unless the generator is on. It was a very cold night. Next stop: Walmart for a new battery and more blankets.
