Every summer since birth, my family and I have vacationed in Maine at a house owned by my grandparents and within close proximity to other close relatives. My mother’s father was born and raised in a nearby town, Milbridge, and has since bought and owned a summer house in Steuben. When my mother was a child her summers solely included month long trips to the house in Steuben. Naturally, when she birthed my brother, sister, and I our summers came to include Maine as well.
