We awoke to a sunny and warm day in Strasburg, PA.  To see Hunter’s face this morning you would swear it was Christmas.  He could not get the day started fast enough, so he could get to his beloved trains.  Today was all about Hunter and trains.  We greeted the day with an extremely average [...]

Thanks to our good friend Jon, we knew that if we could just get the car packed, delicious bagel sandwiches would be within our reach!  Hunter of course was hungry, so he and I headed down to get a quick bite before we hit the road.  Hunter met one of the hotel employees named Louisa [...]

The best part about the Best Western in Keene is that we were able to park our car right behind our room with a sliding door, so loading the car was a breeze!  Before we set out for our next destination we headed down to the lobby for a nice breakfast, which it actually was.  [...]

The last day in Kennebunkport is always a sad one.  Not only is it one of our favorite places to visit, but it also marks that we are more than half way done with our road trip and are headed back to Florida.  Lucky for us, Emily has planned a lot of great stops along [...]

I am sounding like a broken record at this point, but today was yet another beautiful day in Maine!  Today was the day that Hunter, Emily and I were going to explore downtown Kennebunkport and eat the famous fried clam strips from The Clam Shack.  Grandma Curly and Pop Pop Colonel were going to visit Grandma’s Uncle [...]

We awoke to another amazing day in Maine.  So far on the trip, we have had outstanding weather.  Today was the day that Emily had been waiting for for the past few months.  Today was the day she got to go shopping with Grandma Curly without the assistance of her son Hunter.  Emily loves Maine [...]

The sun rose on an absolutely perfect day in Maine.  We had a day packed full of activities so we were eager to get a jump on the day.  I brought some of the delicious hotel breakfast back to the room where Hunter and Mom eagerly awaited.  Waffles (if you can call them that) and [...]

This morning we embarked on our final stretch of driving to the north.  We were heading to Kennebunkport, ME, a place that we have enjoyed since we went there together for the first time for Drew and Fran’s wedding back in 2004.  If you have not been, it is really a cool historic city with a ton [...]

We awoke to yet another beautiful day in Darien, CT, in our hotel.  Emily the event planner had a full day of fun activities planned for us all.  The first stop of the day was for lunch of course, where Emily, Grandma, Hunter, and I went off to find a restaurant that Emily had researched [...]

After a good night’s sleep at the Aloft hotel in Winchester, we packed up the car yet again and set out on our day.  We had about 6 hours of travel ahead of us, so before we departed Winchester we had to fuel up the car and ourselves.  We received a great recommendation from our [...]
