    After rushing through Maryland and Virginia, it was nice to know we would be spending about two weeks traveling through North Carolina — the 41st state we have visited on this trip! North Carolina, the Tar Heel State, was another of the original 13 colonies — and was the FIRST

    Trying to make tracks down further south before the frigid temperatures and icy weather hit, we made quick stops in Maryland and Virginia… on our way to the Carolinas. We plan to come back and spend more time in Virginia during Spring 2020, near the end of this 2.5-year road

    We made a quick dash back to Pennsylvania so that we could visit two historic sites — one related to the Revolutionary War and the other to the Civil War… settling in at a very small, but interesting campground in York. We started this adventure in Valley Forge, located about

    This stop in our adventure was focused on three key elements: visiting some key sights in the towns where Ran spent time as a kid growing up; reconnecting with some of Ran’s New Jersey relatives; and being tourists in one of the iconic cities in the U.S. Our main camping

    As we closed in on our week-long visit to New Jersey and New York City, we decided to veer west from our last location in Connecticut and spend a week in nature in the Hudson Valley region of New York and the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. Ironically, our first

    With the seasonal camping deadline of Columbus Day looming (when RV parks close), we left Maine with the goal of completing a quick sweep through Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut… starting with a camping base in Gloucester, the main city on Cape Ann, and the oldest fishing port in New

    Stop 109: Mesmerized by Maine

    October 21, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We made three stops in Maine, but our focus was on Acadia National Park — mainly because neither of us had ever visited the park. Maine, the 34th state we have visited on this road-trip, is an interesting state…. known as the The Pine Tree State, it is known for

    October 15, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    Autumn in New England definitely is amazing, and our time in Vermont and New Hampshire was absolutely wonderful. The leaves on the trees — the golds, oranges, and reds — were simply spectacular and a memory we will definitely cherish. If you have New England in autumn on your bucket

    We headed west from Syracuse and traveled to an RV park located on Grand Island, just minutes from Niagara Falls… and as soon as the travel trailer was unhooked, we hopped back into the truck for a visit to Niagara Falls State Park and our first views of these impressive
