    We met up with some friends who are also on vacation in the area at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. We’ve been here before but most of the kids don’t remember much of it. I remembered the jelly fish.

    Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat

    We left West Virginia this morning and now we’ll be slowly making our way home. We stopped in Harrisburg Pennsylvania on our way to our next destination. While here we took a sightseeing river boat cruise. This is the paddle wheel that was moving us along. I have a soft spot for riverboats as my…

  • Green algae

    We took a little walk through Harpers Ferry again today. We walked down the Shenandoah Canal which was bright green with algae.

  • Lily pads

    Lily pads

    Today our plans didn’t quite work out as we hoped, but we still had a fun day. We explored a bit of Fredrick Maryland. Part of it we walked along Carol Creek Park downtown which is really nice. I’d never seen so many lily pads growing together like this before.

  • Luray Caverns

    Luray Caverns

    Today we visited Luray Caverns in Virginia. This was something I was looking forward to and it didn’t disappoint.

Thankfully these large caverns made…

    We settled into our place in West Virginia and went to explore the Historic town of Harpers Ferry. It is a beautiful area and has connections to the Appalachian Trail which we walked some on. It felt very hot out or I would have liked to have walked some more. The train bridge was one…

  • Lady Liberty

    Lady Liberty

    As we were heading on to our next stop of our road trip vacation we stopped into Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. It’s a really nice, and at least while we were there today, quiet spot. It gives a view of NYC and the Statue of Liberty from a different angle. In the…

  • New York Public Library

    New York Public Library

    The lions out front of the New York Public Library are called Patience and Fortitude. It felt like I needed both today, but didn’t have them. I like New York City a lot but it’s a city I’d like to visit with just my wife, or friends. Having our whole family including a 3.5 year…
