Family trip to show the boys more of our dynamic country Lue lisää
  • Center City Philly

    26. kesäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Amazing architecture, history and food, just scratched the service today. Washington Square is actually built on top of thousands of unmarked graves from Washington’s army he led in the revolutionary war, his words very powerful. Seeing where the Declaration of Independence was drafted, the liberty bell, so many things that evoke unique emotions when seen and experienced in person.Lue lisää

  • NYC

    28. kesäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    I have always been curious of what the NYC pace would be like, and it’s been exciting getting a feel for it today. I can see how someone can become addicted to it. But also can see it’s not for everyone.

    Spent a nice chunk of our afternoon / evening biking thru Central Park. Gabe was to little for the city bikes so he brought his scooter and kept up like a champ.

    Oliver and I spent some time enjoying a couple French jazz musicians (guitarist and percussionist/trumpet player) in the park, and a 20s something actress/singer was sitting next to us, and it was her birthday and so she sang with them for a little while for fun. Beautiful all around.

    Then we just drove around and got a preview of Manhattan-very cool.

    Such an interesting place.

  • More NY

    29. kesäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Was a fun day hitting a few fun food stops (one being Sala Thai which was amazing). Time Square was a little over crowded but cool to see.

    Got a great view of the City from Top of The Rock and also was able to see St Thomas Church which was breath taking. Got to spend a short moment at the NY Public Library and it was impressive. Wanted to see the Morgan Library but it was closing.

    So much to do and see in this City, we are just scratching the surface.

  • Portsmouth NH / Wells ME

    2. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Left the hustle and bustle of our back to back city tour and heading to Maine to camp and explore the coastal towns.

    Stopped at a cool Farm/Brewery called Throwback Brewery along the way, felt a little like home.

    Enjoyed stretching our legs in Portsmouth, such a charming town founded in 1630, of about 20k people. Beautiful homes, waterways, and islands.

    Then got to camp near Wells MA and settled in.

  • Sleeping in the trees in Vermont

    4. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Ended up between Montpelier and Burlington VT up in the mountains in a fun little treehouse. 1 town did their city fireworks on Sunday the 3rd and the other canceled theirs on the day of the 4th but we had fun just hanging out. Lots of stars, and lots of fireflies lighting up the clearing below us.

    Very peaceful spot.

  • Niagra Falls

    6. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Found a cool campground with some fun stuff for the boys. They made fast friends with lots of kids there and it was nice to just enjoy a really beautiful evening.

    Then went to Niagara Falls at night, and I admit I thought it was going to be a big waterfall, but it was truly spectacular.Lue lisää

  • Six Flags Day

    8. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

    Gabe and Dad day, just enough rain to keep people away from six flags so we had short lines and was able to make it on every ride. Lots of fun, we both decided that the Superman ride was our favorite and got to that one twice, then finished the day with some beignets.

    Then we all met up and went to Portillo’s, and had a great dinner. The restaurant started in 1963 when the owner bought a hot dog cart for $1100.

    Going to explore Chicago tomorrow.

  • Chicago

    9. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Quick visit to Chicago, had some incredible sandwiches at TriBecca’s and also some deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati’s. Very cool city, with some cool speak easys that will have to be checked out next time (like The Drifter which is under The Green Tavern and to access it you have to go down these stairs and access the doorknob hidden in a bookcase).

    The water of Lake Michigan was a cool turquoise color, and it was a beautiful sunny day when we got down to the water.

    Unfortunately a lot of things were going on due to the sad events that occurred at the 4th of July parade days earlier. (A lot of police and security around public areas)

  • Minneapolis Mall of America

    11. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Got into Minneapolis last night and went to a movie theatre with recliners and watched Top Gun! It was epic! If you haven't seen it live yet we should all go! And Gabe has his next movie picked out. Then woke up and headed downtown to see the bridges and parks and have cardemon lattes. Then we headed to the Mall of America where the boys found some fly school clothes and mom and Gabe went on the log ride and enjoyed the amusement park in the middle!Lue lisää

  • Mt Rushmore

    12. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Headed to Rapid City on the way to Montana, and caught a quick glance at Mt Rushmore before they closed. Check it off the list!

    Found a giant candy store on the way and kept seeing these signs for Wells Drug Store and so we stopped and it took up two city blocks and had a lot of fun things to look at.Lue lisää

  • Billings to Missoula MT

    14. heinäkuuta 2022, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    Stopped in Billings yesterday on the way to Missoula, Justyn found a motel with a cool water slide. Saw a gorgeous sunset through a thunderstorm, but like a lot of the scenery, a camera didn’t do it justice.

    Passed the battle site of Little Big Horn / Custer’s Last Stand. It was interesting to imagine the battle playing out on those very hills.

    Homestake Pass just outside of Butte was cool, the mountains were all giant boulders.
