When we Denver, Colorado in September, we decided we would route our trip home to North Carolina in a way that maximized our time in peak fall season. We wanted to time our drive to follow perfectly cool fall weather and the changing leaves. We started our quest for fall in the high altitude of […]
A Visit from Uncle Pete
Peter is my youngest brother. He prides himself of being able to annoy and aggravate me better than anyone else. But we really love each other. He spent a good amount of his San Francisco vacation visiting with us while we were there. The kids were thrilled. They LOVE their Uncle Pete. This weekend he […]
One of the Things I’m Most Proud of..
One of the things I’m most proud of is my kids’ ability to look out the window while we drive. Yes, on this trip, I’ve let Jane and Wilson watch a DVD or two on our long drives. I’ll be the first to admit that they’ve seen more TV this year than they ever have […]
Picking Apples at Indian Creek Orchard, Ithaca, New York
We’ve spent the last five days just outside of Ithaca, New York. We all have been mesmerized by the fall here. It is nothing short of spectacular. Being the typical fall-loving mom that I am, I was sure to scout out some apple picking while we were in apple country. Indian Creek Orchard is everything […]
Hale Farm & Village Fall Festival, Hudson, New York
In addition to the amazing Bike Aboard! program and The Ledges, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is also home to Hale Farm and Village. We saw signs all week advertising Hale Farm and Village’s Fall Festival. Mark rolled his eyes while mine lit up. He doesn’t do crowds. I convinced Mark that if we got there […]
Squirrels’ Rights at Seneca Falls, NY
No, Mark didn’t kick another squirrel. But Jane did think we were campaigning for their rights. Here’s the story. When we decided to visit Ithaca New York, it was obvious that we needed to visit Seneca Falls National Park which was about a 30 minute drive from our campground. It’s an election year and a […]
Exploring Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky
Though Mammoth Cave National Park is only eight hours from home in Raleigh, NC, I had not visited the park before now. After a long drive in from St. Louis, Missouri, we camped just outside of the park in Cave City. Though the park is mostly known for its cave, which is the largest in […]
Touring the Airstream Factory, Jackson Center, Ohio
As you likely know, we are traveling the country in a 1969 21′ Airstream Globetrotter. The trailer is forty seven years old with an unknown number of miles and misadventures in her past, but she has held together well over the 25,000 miles we’ve travel so far. We love our old Airstream, and it seems […]
The Ledges in Cuyahoga National Park, Hudson, Ohio
While the highlight of our time in Cuyahoga was Bike Aboard!, we had a lot of fun one afternoon exploring The Ledges. Given the rather sedated landscape of the Cuyahoga Valley, full of gently rolling hills and quiet rivers, we were surprised at the visual and experiential awesomeness of The Ledges. The imposing rock ledges […]
Bike Aboard! in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Hudson, Ohio
In our effort to find and follow the fall season, we stayed the first week of October in Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) in northern Ohio, where the leafy trees in the rolling hills of the valley had begun to turn bright red, orange, and yellow. Two of the key features of CVNP are the […]
