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 […]
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.
August 3, 2024 Guys! I went tubing!

Cooperstown, NY July 6 I have been a baseball fan since before I was born. Literally. I have a picture of my dad and my 8 month-pregnant mom at one of the games of the 1974 World Series between the Dodgers and the A’s. As a lifetime fan of baseball, it’s only fitting that my […]
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.
