One surprise I continue to experience on this trip is the kindness of strangers. This trip has been such a gift in so many ways, and amidst the ugliness of our presidential election, it has really restored my belief that most people are good. While biking a 17 mile section of the Virginia Creeper Trail in […]
Senioritis in the Home Stretch of our Adventure
We were driving south out of Shenandoah National Park and I saw it. The sign for North Carolina, home. I was hit with the want and need for a house, a shower, and family. Part of me wanted to grab the wheel from Mark and veer right so badly. As the end of this trip […]
Chime Time in the Bell Tower at Cornell University
We have a Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood DVD that both Jane and Wilson love. It has 3 episodes of the show on it, and Jane can recite every line of every episode. Super fun to watch…SUPER. In one of the episodes, the character’s picnic ends up getting rained out. They decide to have an indoor picnic at a […]
Boo Bash at Virginia Discovery Museum, Charlottesville, VA
We’ve mentioned our love for children’s museums on this trip. So when we saw that the Virginia Discovery Museum was hosting a “Boo Bash”, we knew we had to attend. It was a kid perfect party. The event lasted from 6-7:30pm. Both Jane and Wilson were so excited they could barely stop from squealing all the […]
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 […]
Things I’m Really Going to Miss
You all know I love to share what drives me nuts about living in a tiny Airstream and our trip. And since we’ve been blogging I’ve also learned that YOU all LOVE when I share what I hate too. Sorry, I’m not sorry. This is a post about the little things I’ll miss when we […]
