travel dates: June, 2024 We spent a couple of days in Niagara Falls in 2021, but that was back when Canada was still closed, so we were restricted to gazing longingly across the water from the US at the bright lights of the considerably more touristy Canadian side of things. So we were excited that […]
Four Days on Newfoundland’s Bonavista Peninsula: Beyond Puffins. RVing Newfoundland with Kids and Teens
travel dates: July 2023 The Bonavista Peninsula, on Newfoundland’s east coast, seems to fly a bit under the radar, tourism-wise, compared to some of its flashier counterparts. It has plenty of stunning ocean views, but lacks the dramatic peaks of Gros Morne. It doesn’t have the “getaway for the rich and famous” vibe that Fogo […]
Elliston, Newfoundland: It’s Finally Time for Puffins!
travel dates: July, 2023 Look! I put a puffin picture right at the top, so no one would have to wait for puffins for another second! Puffins are amazing. And the little town of Elliston in Newfoundland is one of the best places in the world to see them up close. Lots and lots and lots […]
A (Very) Quick Trip to Denver
travel dates: September, 2024 Usually what happens when we take a short, non-summer, often non-RV trip, is that I figure I’ll blog about it when I’m caught up on summer trip posts and then, predictably, I’m never actually caught up on summer trip posts, so these shorter trips are lost to history. No more! Or […]
A Day in New River Gorge National Park: the Summer Trip Begins!
travel dates: June, 2024 Our big theme for this year’s trip was “Canadian Cities,” and, as you might already know, New River Gorge National Park is not a Canadian city. But it is America’s newest national park and happens to be located in West Virginia, one of the few states we still needed to check off on […]
15 Things to Do in St. John’s, Newfoundland with Kids and Teens (and Parents and Grandparents)
travel dates: July, 2023 This is going to be a long one! “Go east and then keep on going. You’ll eventually find the oldest city in North America,” tweeted the Newfoundland and Labrador tourism account back in 2018. They meant St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador’s capital and its biggest city by far (it’s nine times […]
Pippy Park, St. John’s Campground Review: RVing Newfoundland with Kids and Teens
travel dates: July, 2023 I’ve been reflecting a lot on RVing cities this summer, since our trip took us to Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, and Washington DC (so much city!)…and what I keep coming back to is that city camping doesn’t get much better than Pippy Park in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Pippy Park is right […]
Hollywood Studios and Port Orleans French Quarter: Disney Day 3
Travel dates: January 2024 We’re back from another summer trip now…another summer trip during which I fully intended to get some blog posts up and then failed to do so. So! Back at it! I’m picking back up with our first actual park day at Disney World, having already recounted our Skyliner day This […]
Don’t Skip Fogo Island/Brimstone Head RV Park: RVing Newfoundland with Kids and Teens
travel dates: June 2023 We watched a lot of YouTube videos about Newfoundland while we were planning our trip. One particularly memorable one featured a day trip to Fogo Island, off the north central coast of Newfoundland; the title was “Fogo or No Go,” and the couple (whose Newfoundland videos we really enjoyed overall) did […]
Resort and Skyliner Day: Disney World Days 1 and 2
travel dates: January 2024 (mostly MLK week) Friday: Arrival Day/All-Star Music Generally speaking I’m fairy happy with where we live. We can walk to stores and restaurants; there are lots of parks and hiking nearby, it’s an easy drive to get south to Atlanta or north to the mountains…but then there are the times where […]
