Today is day #2 of our 7 day stay in Maine (or the 2nd full day anyway). We were in New Hampshire on Thursday night/Friday morning, but decided to do absolutely nothing while we were there since it was raining and everything I wanted to do was spoiled by that. We’re only about [...]

Our trip through Vermont was short but sweet. We decided to stay in Burlington, VT, because it was cheap and our little New England guidebook had a whole chapter about it. We started out last night going to the Magic Hat Brewery where they had a self guided tour of their factory. [...]

I feel like I’ve been getting lazier and lazier at blogging. I used to post pictures as soon as I got them, but now I wait longer and longer to post things (or I guess I wait until I have a larger collection of stuff to post). It really doesn’t make a difference [...]

As soon as we passed into Québec (the province), it suddenly felt like we had driven into a foreign country. Niagara Falls and Toronto seemed a lot like the US; sure, there were a few more people speaking French than usual, but there was nothing hugely different. Québec on the other hand, does [...]

We’re getting to a point where everywhere we go, things seem to always be the same. Toronto was nice, but it was just another city. Lots of places to walk to and eat, random museums, that iconic tall building you have to pay to go up, etc. We decided to actually go [...]

Niagara Falls, Canadian side. Originally we were planning to stop on both sides of the falls, but we forgot to bring our passports out of the hotel the first time we walked down there (our hotel was on the Canadian side) so we weren’t sure if they’d let us back in the US without [...]

Hershey, Pennsylvania! Where the streetlights are Hershey Kisses and everything is made of chocolate!

I always thought it’d be cool to go to Hershey, PA, so yesterday I finally got that chance. They have a lot of attractions there — various chocolate tours, museums, an amusement park and a zoo (at the [...]

It must be too long since the fourth grade, because since we left Florida we are having serious trouble remembering state capitals. It started out with me believing the state capital of South Carolina was Charleston (it *used* to be Charleston a long long time ago) when it is in fact Columbia. I [...]

The Outer Banks is a strip of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. Our original plan was to take a 2 hour car ferry to the southern end of the islands and travel northward, but since we don’t plan ahead we called the ferry company the Saturday morning only to find out [...]

Awwwwwwwww!!
Friday we drove through Myrtle Beach looking for the ultimate miniature golf course. Myrtle Beach has a ton of miniature golf courses, all themed differently — jungle, jurassic, pirates, hawaiian, etc. We decided to check out the one the guidebook mentioned which was medieval themed and had a fire breathing dragon, but when [...]
