I know that all of you can name at least 3 things that Vermont is known for…..maple syrup, autumn colors, dairy, covered bridges, snow skiing and church steeples, right?? We were all happy that we had scheduled a full week in Vermont as it is an absolutely beautiful state! We were about a month tooContinue reading “VERMONT….a big “two thumbs up” from all of us!”

We arrived in Maine on the tail of Hurricane Henri. There was little to no impact here in the Bar Harbor area and the drive here was unremarkable – we were thankful as it looked like we could be in the thick of the storm for a while. On arriving, we took our time settingContinue reading “Bar Harbor, Maine”

It’s been a while since my last posting and I apologize for the delay. I have been having a great deal of trouble with my WiFi connection – partially because of our locations but also because of the weather, namely Henri!! So, a few mornings back, we left Cape Cod, Massachusetts after enjoying the areaContinue reading “Cape Cod, Massachusetts …..and Martha’s Vineyard”

We had a pleasant surprise while driving here from Connecticut – this state, like Pennsylvania, Rhode Island Delaware and Connecticut are beautiful. The highways are lined with forests and the rolling hills add to the beauty. Even though we are only here for three nights, this was a special stop. Originally, this stop was plannedContinue reading “Portsmouth, Rhode Island”

Our second day in the city took us to Pier 83 where we boarded a boat cruising around Manhatten, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Thus far, we have been blessed by really great weather (minus one tropical storm) and today the sun was once again shining. With temperatures in the high 70’s toContinue reading “New York City, New York – Part II (and just a little bit of Mystic, Connecticut!)”

We’ll be staying in Newton, N.J. for two nights. This stop was not on our original itinerary – however, one day, early into our trip, Marj made the comment that she wished we had included New York City into our plans. She had visited the Ground Zero Memorial a few years back and felt itContinue reading “New York City, New York – Part I”

We made it to New Jersey! And to make up for missing a Delaware sign, I got TWO New Jersey signs! Look how beautiful the road sides are on their expressway – it’s understandable why they’re called the Garden State! This was the best leg of our journey so far! From Delaware, we brought theContinue reading “Cape May, New Jersey – Atlantic City”

Sadly, I have no picture of the Delaware border as we came in on a bit of a back road route. Never-the-less, we’re here, in our nation’s very first state! It’s very pretty here – looks a bit like Pennsylvania with the green forests and rolling hills. We are back in Coastal Country as weContinue reading “Millsboro, Delaware”
