Travel dates: June, 2023 North of Gros Morne National Park, Highway 430–aka The Viking Trail– hugs the western coast of Newfoundland for 150 miles or so up the Great Northern Peninsula, before turning eastward, finally ending in the town of St. Anthony. The drive is beautiful and the road surprisingly good by Newfoundland standards. People […]
Gros Morne National Park, Southern Edition: RVing Newfoundland with Kids and Teens
travel dates: June, 2023 We live just north of Atlanta, in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. The southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail is just about an hour and a half from our house. Though the trail officially ends in Maine, the mountain range itself extends all the way to Newfoundland and ends with […]
Glacier National Park East (and the Going to the Sun Road Finally Opens!)
travel dates: July 2022 After seeing the western side of Glacier National Park, we made our way east still not knowing for sure when the Going to the Sun Road was going to open. Rumors were swirling, but all the rangers we encountered steadfastly refused to verify the rumors. The road ended up opening on […]
Glacier National Park with Kids and Teens: Western Half Edition
travel dates: July 2022 Several years ago we went to Lassen Volcanic National Park in early July and found massive mounds of snow still blocking park roads and cutting us off from many of the park’s biggest attractions. Some research confirmed that we were exceptionally unlucky; the park websites has records listing the date the […]
Three Days in Missoula, Montana with Kids and Teens
Travel dates: July, 2022 We love a good college town, and Missoula is an excellent college town. We spent three days there last July, which felt like a good amount of time to see a lot of the city. Missoula offers a great blend of urban and outdoorsy stuff to do, something Montana in general excels at. […]
Bozeman, Montana with Kids and Teens (and farewell to the Inn on the Gallatin)
travel dates: June, 2022 Like with so many drives during our summer of mountains, I was a little worried about the one that would take us from Brigham City, Utah to Bozeman, Montana. And as with all of the drives, I needn’t have worried. With the help of the Mountain Driving Directory and a good […]
Two Days in the Finger Lakes with Kids and Teens: Seneca Falls and Watkins Glen State Park
Travel dates: July, 2021 There were two things we wanted to make sure to see while we were in New York’s Finger Lakes region last summer, one of them a little more…obvious than the other. We knew we wanted to go to Watkins Glen State Park, for this was the summer of hiking through gorges. […]
Flume Gorge and Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire with Kids and Teens
Travel dates: July, 2021 It’s that time of the year where I start to freak out about how much blogging is still left to do about last summer’s trip given how close this summer’s trip is getting! So time to pick up the pace! The good part of this is that…this summer’s trip is getting close! We’re excited! We […]
Cape Cod Again! Because you can never have too much Cape Cod
Travel dates: June, 2021 We’ve been to Cape Cod many, many times, and I’ve already blogged about the two times that happened post trailer acquisition. We’ve been going since my big kids were littler than THIS: So if you’re looking for more of “things to do with kids on Cape Cod” sort of post, I […]
World’s End Trail in Hingham, MA
For every long trip we take, Dave makes an elaborate spreadsheet listing mileage and campground reservation numbers and all that sort of thing, and I make a no less elaborate but much less spreadsheet-y day-by-day itinerary document with all our tentative plans for each day. The number of categories on the itinerary has grown over […]
