travel dates: July 2023 On the way home from Newfoundland, we stopped by Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod for a few days to see family. Dave has lots of extended family in the Boston area (and his aunt has a house in Falmouth), his parents came down from New Hampshire, and his sister and her […]
Our Dollywood Year Begins
Travel dates: January, 2025 I could take you through the twisted path of thoughts, plans, and questionable math that ended with us sitting at a computer in our Airbnb in New Hampshire over Thanksgiving buying Dollywood season passes. But it would not be that interesting. So instead I will just tell you that Dave, Abe, […]
Don’t Forget Twillingate (Like I Did. Sorry, Twillingate!) RVing Newfoundland for One More Post
travel dates: July 2023 Remember when I dramatically announced that I was writing my very last Newfoundland post? Yeah, so then I realized that I totally skipped poor Twillingate. We went to Twillingate right after Fogo Island, but apparently I was so eager to talk about St. John’s that I just completely forgot to blog about it. […]
Corner Brook: RVing Newfoundland with Kid and Teens….the LAST Newfoundland Post!!
travel dates: July, 2023 The time has come: back in July of 2023 it was almost time for us to leave Newfoundland and here in real time I’m writing my very last blog post in this series…about our two night stop in Corner Brook as we made our way back to the ferry in Port […]
Bronte Creek Provincial Park near Toronto: Campground Review
travel dates: June, 2024 We’d never been to Toronto before our summer, 2024 trip…but we had planned to go to Toronto more than once. Or at least thought about it. We considered a stop there on our canceled 2020 trip. And then again for our 2021 trip that actually happened…but happened without the Canada parts owing to […]
Another Eclipse! And Evansville, Indiana
Writing up my 2024 travel memories post made me realize I have yet to blog about our trip to see the solar eclipse last April! It was a quick trip and thus this will be a quick post, but I wanted to make sure to document it somewhere, both because eclipses are awesome and because […]
Top 12 Travel Memories of 2024 and Looking Ahead to 2025
2024 was a big year of transitions for us, as August left for college, Ari left for grad school (after a year back home working post-college graduation) and we went down to only three people at home full time. Travel-wise, we had only two kids on the big summer trip with us most of the […]
Terra Nova National Park and Newman Sound Campground: RVing Newfoundland with Kids and Teens
travel dates: July, 2023 Here we said goodbye to Nana and Grandpa and also learned that it gets actually, genuinely hot sometimes in Newfoundland. And it’s pretty much always humid, so it’s an unpleasant, wearying sort of hot. Terra Nova is Newfoundland’s oldest national park. Out of two: it’s only competition is Gros Morne on […]
Niagara Falls: Canada Edition
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 […]
