Day Ten – Last Night on the Road

On day ten we made our way back to Maine to spend one last night in a hotel. Not sure I’m ready for all this fun to end, but I can’t wait for my own bed.  There was a lot of driving today but we made a number of stops to beak it up. OurContinue reading “Day Ten – Last Night on the Road”

Day Nine – Starting Home

Vacation is starting to wrap up. We left the awesome B&B and started the drive back home. On the drive we changed up plans. We were going to drive around NYC but changed it up so we went straight through instead. There was certainly a lot more traffic than we were used to but JenContinue reading “Day Nine – Starting Home”

Day Eight – Chesapeake Beach and Fireworks

Yesterday was Independence Day. What an opportunity being right next to the Nations Capital. Someday I might look back and regret our decision to stay out of downtown Washington DC for the day, but we had a great day anyway.  The weather was off and on raining all day. At some points it came downContinue reading “Day Eight – Chesapeake Beach and Fireworks”

Day five – Washington DC

We spent the day exploring some of Washington, so far I really like this city. We pushed the kids again and did a fair amount of walking for some of their little legs. The heat is a bit more than we are used to so that slowed everyone down a bit too. Jen is theContinue reading “Day five – Washington DC”

Day four – Conneticut to Maryland

Today was our last driving day to get to the main area we are staying. We left at a good time and headed to Easton Pennsylvania so we could break up the drive at the Crayola Experience.  On the way we met up with our friends from New Brunswick who had a bit of aContinue reading “Day four – Conneticut to Maryland”

Day three – NYC

We spent yesterday in New York City! We booked our hotel in Stamford CT and took the train from there into Grand Central. It was the kids first time in a train and it was a great way to get into the city.  Once in we wandered around a bit. Went into Time Square toContinue reading “Day three – NYC”
