Safari is the trip of a lifetime for a nature lover, and South Africa’s Kruger National Park was everything I could dream of and more. Driving around is surreal, you feel like you’re in a nature documentary watching lions chase hyenas and hippos battling. It is almost unfathomable that the […]
Monica’s Pies, 7599 NY-21, Naples, NY 14512 I really love pie so when I found out there was a type of pie I had yet to try, I was disappointed in myself. I thought I’ve tried all the pies. I knew this was a situation I’d have to rectify. In the […]
There’s always room for Jell-O…roadside attractions on your itinerary. Am I right? This is the kitschy kind of stuff my dreams are made of. Did you know that Jell-O was first created in New York in 1897? A visit to the Jell-O Gallery Museum [23 E Main St, Le Roy, […]
We definitely did not plan on going here over the weekend getaway, but I overlooked a tiny detail of our next destination. It didn’t open until 1pm on Sundays, so we would have had to kick around doing nothing for two hours. Hrmpf. Can’t be doing that on adventure weekend. […]
Early on a summer Sunday morning the grounds were sleepy as could be. Stony Brook State Park [10820 New York 36, Dansville, NY 14437] is pretty far from any serious civilization and a bit overshadowed by nearby Letchworth State Park. Good thing, keep the crowds over there! Somehow I stumbled […]
Lockwood Lavender Farm, 1682 West Lake Road, Skaneateles, NY 13152-9618 There is just something about the scent of lavender, calming, floral, zen. Mix with the lovely Finger Lakes and you have yourself a magical situation. Visiting after the harvest meant the grounds were not quite as purple as I would […]
My parents vacation on the southwestern portion of Rhode Island right along the border of Connecticut every summer. This year while I was road tripping along the coast I decided to stop and see what it’s all about, checking out all of their favorite spots and adding in a bit […]
A few summers back I had a quick visit to Newport Rhode Island, a bit too quick! While I was able to do the infamous Cliff Walk, I didn’t have time to tour any of the mansions. Well, my life seems to be turbo charged, and yet again I found […]
Just a hop, skip, and a jump over state lines from Portsmouth, NH is Kittery, ME. Seriously, the two towns are only 2 miles from one another, 10 minutes away. I thought it would be a shame not to double dip right into Maine. The two are so close I […]
I was surprised to see so much action going on in a town I’d barely heard of. As we were walking around a heard a lady say to her companion ‘more and more people come here every summer.’ Portsmouth is definitely catching on, and with good reason. The city is […]
Montmorency Falls, 5300 Boulevard Sainte-Anne, Ville de Québec, QC G1C 1S1, Canada Just minutes away from downtown Quebec City is a magnificent waterfall, at 272’ it is taller than Niagara Falls! Take the stairs up for continual views of the falls, along with the surrounding area, and the city back […]
The week after I got back from Europe I had serious adventure funk. It was Memorial Day weekend in the states so with three good days of freedom, we had a great excuse to drive up to Quebec City. I felt like I was on a different continent again, hearing […]
Markets: Marché du Vieux-Port de Québec, 160 Quai Saint-André, Ville de Québec, QC G1K 3Y2, Canada A varied market on the water at the edge of Old Quebec. You’ll find meal options, snacks, produce, knick knacks, and flowers. J.A. Moisan, 695 Rue Saint-Jean, Ville de Québec, QC G1R 1P7, Canada […]
If you have at least two days in Venice, after visiting the sights of the city on the first day, your second should absolutely be devoted to visiting the islands. A short and scenic ferry ride away from the mainland there is a whole other world. Murano, Burano, and Torcello can be visited […]
