  • Le Château Frontenac

    Le Château Frontenac

    We had a kind of whirlwind trip to Québec City this past weekend for a basketball tournament. We were able to spend a bit of time exploring Old Québec both during the day and then back again for a bit in the evening. Here is Château Frontenac at night.

    We made it home last night after our road trip vacation. It was a long day but worth it to sleep in my own bed. The drive was pretty smooth though we did run into a few patches of really heavy rain. When we finally crossed our last border of the day back into Nova…

  • Boston Public Gardens

    Boston Public Gardens

    Yesterday was our last real day of vacation. Today we are on the long drive home. We stayed outside Boston last night and the day in and around the city. As we usually do when in the area we took some time to walk through the Boston Commons and Public Gardens. It had been calling…

  • Hershey Park

    Hershey Park

    We spent all day, like 11 hours, at Hershey Amusement Park yesterday. We had a blast, though with the heat and business I was thoroughly exhausted. So many roller coasters that a couple of the kids said they still felt like they were on one as they were going to sleep last night. This picture…

    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…

    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. I don’t know if it goes back to watching movies like The Goonies when I was young but the idea of exploring caves or caverns always seemed like a great adventure. Thankfully these large caverns made…

  • Capital Wheel

    Capital Wheel

    Up early today for some fun. One of the things our youngest daughter had asked to do this trip was to ride one of the large touristy Ferris wheels. We intended to do one in New Jersey but it was hazy the whole time there so we decided not to. One stop we did today…
