Welcome to our new domain! Ever since 2004 we have had our own website. It started with a simple homepage with a gallery of photos then grew to a blog hosted on Apple’s iWeb on which we chronicled our 2008 cross country road trip. In time Apple abandoned that service...
After a leisurely breakfast at the house with Ben & Lynda we quickly packed up and hitched up our T@B 400 which had been patiently parked in the driveway while we’d ventured off to Boston. Instead of staying to watch the Fourth of July Parade march past the house,...
This morning we hugged and kissed our grandsons and their parents and left them to settle into their new normalcy while we headed to northwestern Connecticut. This evening we joined Ben & Lynda for a dinner at The Delaney House in Holyoke MA to celebrate the...

A family farm since 1904, Wright's Farm in Gardiner NY is a wonderful place to shop for farm fresh food. Cherries just came into season this week. We got homemade Peach Rhubarb Pie, Cinnamon Apple Cider Doughnuts, Free Range Eggs, Maple Sausage , and more. It's a...
This little campground in a forest not far from the jungle of metropolitan New Jersey is a delight. We walked into Mahlon Dickerson Reservation on Thursday and scored Site 9 for two nights. Built in the 1960's it was long a well kept local secret. Preston, its...

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
