New York State of Mind

After recovering from the embarrassment with tipping yesterday, we were ready for our epic adventure in New York.  Here was our proposed itinerary for the day: Chrysler Building Empire State Building Statue of Liberty 9/11 Memorial Brooklyn Times Square Plaza Hotel Central Park Broadway Show You may think that seems like a lot.  Well, yes, …

Welcome to New York, It’s Been Waiting For You

Leg 7: Boston, MA- New York, NY- 4 hours 10 minutes If you would have told me 3 years ago that I'd go to NYC three times within three years, I would have thought you were crazy.  Well, crazy or not, that happened.  You can read about my first ever trip to NYC (just a …

Lexington, Concord, and Little Women

On our way out of Boston, heading to NYC, we made pit stops to see the battlefields of Lexington and Concord.  As was a common occurrence this trip, we made a bonus side trip to the newly discovered (we saw a sign during our back roads drive) Orchard House- home of Louisa May Alcott, the …

A Jam Packed Day in Boston

With only one full day in Boston, we were determined to make the most of our day.  We researched and came up with a plan of action.  After deciding what were our "must do's" in Boston, we concluded that booking the hop-on-hop-off Old Town Trolley Tours was our best mode of transportation. Here was our plan of …

Bar Harbor- Boston, MA

Leg 6: Bar Harbor- Boston, MA- 5 hours On our road trip, we bid a fond farewell to the charming town of Bar Harbor and hopped in the car for the 5 hour drive to Boston.  We opted to follow US-1 for most of the drive (it added maybe 30 minutes to our trip) because …

ALASKA!

Hello Friends! I'm now in full swing with planning this Summer's upcoming adventure, and I can hardly believe that I am going to cruise in Alaska!  An Alaskan cruise is something I've contemplated the last couple years, but it hadn't worked out until now! Just yesterday we officially booked our cruise, and the plan is …

Whale Watching

Our final adventure in Bar Harbor was WHALE WATCHING.  If you know me, you will probably know that Orca Whales are my favorite animal, hands down.  Well, we didn't go Orca Whale watching, but we did go Humpback Whale watching, and let me tell you... it was AMAZING!  We booked our adventure through Bar Harbor Whale …

Acadia National Park: Bar Harbor, Maine

When planning our road trip, a huge draw in Maine was being able to visit Acadia National Park because every photo we saw of this place was absolutely gorgeous.  Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We were only in Maine for a brief stay, so we were only able to enjoy a small snippet of …

The “Maine” Event… aka Bar Harbor Adventures

Leg 5: Prince Edward Island- Bar Harbor, Maine- 6 hours 40 minutes Somewhere right before crossing the Canadian/ United States border, I managed to chip my tooth while eating a TimBit donut hole from Tim Hortons.  Yes, this is a true statement.  Now whenever I think of Maine, I always think of this experience.  I …

Final Day on PEI

This final day exploring the beautiful PEI was very bittersweet indeed.  Truly I couldn't have imagined a more perfect time spent in such a beautiful place.  I truly feel blessed to have visited this Island, and am dreaming of the next time I am able to come here. In addition to seeing Green Gables, going to …
