After our stay in The Adirondacks we headed South for the Catskills and I was not prepared for the contrast I would find, just a little more than 100 miles away. While Lake George was all about living large and glamourous, in mansions on the lake and jet skis, the Catskills area is more of … Continue reading The Catskills: An Unexpected Bohemian Hideaway
The top picture of this post may be my most iconic 2020 picture and also describes how I felt about my time in New York state in the fall. We actually didn't get a chance to get an "I Love NY" picture till we got to the Adirondacks, because it was the first welcome center … Continue reading Travels Across New York: Central Adventures, The Adirondacks and Lake George
I will start this post by acknowledging that if you are from the Northeast, it may sound crazy to dedicate an entire blog post to highway service centers. However, for people from the south, like myself, they are an entirely new concept that makes travel, especially with a trailer much easier. So this is for … Continue reading Northeast Service Centers and Ohio Turnpike Overnight Parking
Back in September I had the pleasure of visiting the Holden Arboretum in Kirtland Ohio. I am a little behind in this post because it was one of the places we visited at the beginning of our trip, but it has taken me a lot longer to pare down and edit pictures because there was … Continue reading Holden Arboretum – Adventures in Wonderland
One of my favorite overnight spots on road trips has quickly become Cracker Barrel. I talked to a lot of people who do it, but when I started looking online for information, I found very little. So I decided to do a post about my experiences and tips in case you decide to add them … Continue reading Cracker Barrel “Boondocking”

They are all posed … Continue reading Dinosaur World – Kentucky

I do have a lot of things to talk about and pictures to edit, but I have been getting many questions about traveling right now. I wanted to go ahead and talk about traveling during … Continue reading Roadtripping and Camping During Covid – Tips and Things to Plan For
When I started my recent road trip I had no plans to do touristy things. Partly because I didn't expect any to be open and partly because I didn't know if I would feel safe doing them. There have been some pleasant surprises along the way that have allowed me to get out and do … Continue reading Jack Daniel’s Distillery – Adventures During Covid
On our most recent road trip we made a stop on the way home in Colorado Springs. This town holds a significance in my family because it is where my mom spent part of her childhood while my grandfather was attending the Nazarene Bible College. It is also my reference for Colorado because it's where … Continue reading Colorado Springs and the Stormy Garden of the Gods
On our recent road trip we got to spend 5 days in the Rocky Mountains. We stayed at the Moraine Campground in the Rocky Mountain National Park, which is in the Estes Park area, at 8,160 feet. Of all the places we have been, this campground is at the top of the list of places … Continue reading Colorado Rocky Mountain 8,160 Feet High
