We wanted to see West Point and where our good friend Bill Shorter grew up just outside the academy in New Windsor/Newburg. It was hard to find a campsite near there, but we found a place in Accord NY so headed there. We had no idea it was in the Catskills and found ourselves driving…

“you have set an example which seems to me unfortunate….You had an opportunity to lead in an enlightened way and it seems to me that your organization has failed. ” Eleanor Roosevelt to the President of the Daughters of the Revolution. You Go Girl….. We headed from Newport, through Connecticut and on to Hyde Park…

We stayed at a lovely little state park in Newport and spent the first night having a wonderful dinner at Matunuck’s at the recommendation of our server at the Gardner museum in Boston. The fish and chips and tuna tartare tacos were fabulous and the scene was very cool. It was out in the middle…

Just finished three great days wandering the streets of Boston…we left ZsaZsa in Middleboro and took the train into the city. We had a great hotel on the North End, close to Little Italy, which made the food… oh so convenient! The first night we roamed the street and scored an early table at The…

Made a quick 2 night trip to SeaVu West campground to see Kennebunkport and Ogunquit just because…(BTW, you can’t see the sea from SeaVu West but it’s a beautiful tree-filled campground in Wells, ME.) Spent an afternoon walking down Ocean Avenue and checking out the shopping and then headed to Snug Harbor Farm which is…

If you’re going to Acadia and want to drive Cadillac Mountain, make sure you go to Recreation.gov to get a timed entry for the…

The drive from Buffalo to Lake George in the Adirondacks was the beginning of several fall days of glorious leaf peeping. The rolling hills of New York were covered in reds, yellows, oranges and made the trek simply beautiful. We landed in Lake George to see the Adirondacks, but also to check out the hometown…

Loved loved loved Toronto….drove up for a one night stay at the Westin Harbor which was in a perfect place downtown for walking. We had a great lunch at the local Amsterdam brewery and then walked to the Distillery District and through Old Town. We loved the diversity of people, languages, cuisine, art and general…

After another amazing wedding in Des Moines, ZsaZsa continued her journey east heading to Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls. We spent the first night in a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Elkhart, IN (do not recommend…neither the lot nor the breakfast) but lesson learned. The next night was in a cute lake town called…

In our quest to get three more USA stickers for ZsaZsa, we drove through Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri and landed in Kansas City, MO for a few days. Or at least we thought we did. With a closer look at the map, our trek from Lincoln NE somehow entirely missed Kansas, so we spent some…
