Island life, what could be better? The drive out to Tybee Island alone is worth the visit. Scenic wetlands as far as the eye can stretch, such a very beautiful sight to see. Our first stop on the island was Fort Pulaski National Monument [U.S. 80, Savannah, GA 31410]. Entrance […]

When we discovered that there was a national forest just minutes from Charleston excitement ran deep. The boots were strapped and the bug spray was slathered on thick. To Francis Marion National Forest we go! First stop was a visit to Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center [5821 Highway 17 […]
One of my ‘musts’ when visiting Charleston was to visit a plantation. There are so many to choose from in the city, Drayton, Boone, and Middleton just to name a few, it can make your head swim! After carefully weighing the pros and cons of each, I decided to go […]
A mild, yet scenic nature walk right outside the town Woodstock was naturally filled with hikers, families, and dog walkers on a sunny day. Comeau [1 Comeau Dr Woodstock, New York 12498 – upper lot is closer to trail entrance] has just over a mile of trails to explore so […]
What’s a boardwalk without an arcade? Asbury Park is home to a prized gem of an arcade that overlooks the beach, a slice of my kinda heaven in New Jersey. The Silverball Museum Arcade [1000 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, NJ 07712] is blinking bright and a little noisy, I couldn’t […]
Have you ever been to a lighthouse on the waters edge in the dead of winter? It’s brutal, it’s beautiful. I didn’t plan on visiting the Saugerties Lighthouse [168 Lighthouse Dr, Saugerties, NY 12477] on such a chilly day, but as I was driving through town I saw the signs […]
A ride on a ferry to a rare forest and a secluded beach? Count me in. Sunken Forest is located on Fire Island, a place where your car cannot go. Park it and hop on the ferry from Sayville towards Sailors Haven [Sayville Ferry Service 41 River Rd, Sayville, NY […]
There’s something simply magical about the elements at work on the Mountain Top Arboretum in Tannersville [Intersection of County Road 23C & Maude Adams Rd, Tannersville, NY 12485]. Only minutes from the main drag in the kitschy town, head on up the hill, and after you pass by some beyond […]
We took our first hike of the year at Bog Meadow Nature Trail in Ballston Spa on new years day, a perfect way to start it off (gps intersection in Ballston Spa: Route 29/Lake ave and Weibel ave, continue on Weibel ave 300 yards on right)! It’s a 2 mile […]
