Stockbridge, Vermont
Lake Champlain Ferry
July 27 On the border between Vermont and New York sits 500+ square mile Lake Champlain. At it’s widest point, the lake is up to 14 miles wide, but at it’s narrowest points, say, between Grand Isle, VT and Plattsburgh, NY, it’s only a couple miles. We took a ferry across the river between those […]
Ben & Jerry’s Factory Tour
July 21 Not being too big a fan of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (based purely upon its price,) I didn’t think much about visiting their factory, but my adventurous spirit won out and we wound up booking a tour.
White River Tubing
August 3, 2024 Guys! I went tubing!
Burlington, Vermont
July 20 There isn’t a lot to do in Vermont. About the only desirable “urban” destination we could find was Burlington, about an hour and a half northwest of our AirBnB. So we went there.
Hanover, New Hampshire
July 19 As we were less than an hour from Vermont’s border with New Hampshire, we decided to take a quick day trip to Hanover, home of Dartmouth College.
Thundering Brook Falls Trail

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Niagara Falls State Park
July 5 I specifically picked Hamburg, NY, for our second night after leaving Iowa thanks to its close proximity to our next stop, Niagara Falls. A short 30 minute drive from the Motel 6 would allow me to try to beat the holiday weekend crowd that was sure to be there.
University of Notre Dame
South Bend, IN July 4, 2024 The first stop after my brief stay in Iowa was in South Bend Indiana. I had no idea until I got there that South Bend was the home to one of the premiere universities in the United States.
