For our stay in Ohio, we parked at another friend of Richard’s. Konrad is another boarding school buddy of his. As we travel, we sometimes have to have supplies mailed to us, so we had some things waiting for us when we arrived. One surprise was a care package from […]
We had a super-quick overnight Boondockers Welcome in Vermont and then were on our way to another BW outside of Buffalo, NY. 1Error happened.
We stayed 5 nights (our longest stretch so far) outside of Acadia National Park at a Boondockers Welcome location. We parked in the parking lot of a storage unit facility. Sounds boring but we were only about 10 minutes from the park! We arrived late the first evening but the […]
We decided to go to Niagara Falls on Friday evening because we were heading to Richard’s friend, Konrad’s, house on Saturday. It was on my bucket list of things to see, but I still did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It really is breathtaking! Evie […]
Our New York BW hosts were delightful, and they pointed us in the direction of the Eternal Flame Falls nearby. Creed and I hiked this one alone. There is a short (albeit, wet) hike to the falls and underneath there is a natural gas emission which, when lit, produces an […]

On the way to Modern Pastry we stumbled upon this Holocaust memorial. The official name of it is the New England Holocaust Memorial. It was really well done. It had six glass structures that you can walk through, each representing a different concentration camp. All along the glass structures are […]
I bet we spent over an hour at the Granary Burying Ground. It was fascinating. We didn’t find all of these, but here are some of the amazing people buried here: Samuel Adams-signer of the Declaration of Independence, statesman; Crispus Attucks-African-American victim of the Boston Massacre; John Endecott-first governor of […]
The following photos were taken close to the service station as we took a walk as a family one evening… Error happened.
We did another “Boondockers Welcome” in the Boston area. This time we were parked at a service station. A service station?! That’s right! And it was fantastic! The area was absolutely beautiful, with beaches close by, wonderful New England architecture, a cool cemetery within walking distance, along with Boston and […]
