An adventure through the states
Last night after gaining some much needed energy and spirit from family we headed off towards Boston, so we could be in the right place for remaining couple of days of the trip. After about two and a half hours of driving, and with another thirty minutes to go, we had a look into what …
We started out in a town called Plainfield, today’s challenge was firstly to navigate our way to Stamford before making it back to Boston for the night. We’ve found Conneticut a very leafy green and beauty area to drive through, because of the narrow ‘country’ lanes it does remind us somewhat of home, and is …
With a whirlwind few days left we set off this morning towards Rhode Island, which requires a drive through Massachusetts, technically making Conneticut our last state. At this point we’ve decided not to count this state as visited until we go to Boston, this will also be where we fly out off on our journey …
Arriving back in New Hampshire last night was an exciting feeling, after our activity today that will leave us with only three states left before hitting the big five-0. Who would have thought our journey would be nearly over? Not to disappoint in our last few days here, the glorious sunshine has made an appearance, streaming …
Finally we’ve arrived in Maine! Whilst we’ve been on the states we’ve seen a fair amount of American TV in the evenings, often enjoying the Discovery channel and Animal Planet. There’s been a program that aired about the Fish and Game warden’s of Maine, so we’ve been looking forward to seeing if it looks anything …
After a couple of days enjoying the scenery from the truck it was time to have some fun! Today’s activity was one of our more unusual picks, but perfectly understandable 😉 Tired from the driving we decided to take it easy and casually enjoy a tour of Vermonts most famous chocolate factory: Lake Champlain Chocolates …
Day 121 – New York State We couldn’t stop talking about the fantastic day we had yesterday, and today brought us a beautiful drive through the rest of New York state, which as it turns out is huge! It’s quite a lot different from the New York you see on TV and identify with. It’s lush, …
These last couple of days have been immense! We mainly spent day 119 driving from Ohio to New York state, via Pennsylvania. Having made it back into New York means that although Ben didn’t drive in New York City, he will still be able to say he has driven in all fifty states once our …
After seeing some of Detroit yesterday and meeting some locals as we checked in, we decided this morning to grab lunch in the area before heading off. It turned out to be an interesting journey where we were further able to explore the suburbs and enjoy the typical quaint houses found in America. We lunched …
Leaving our lodge this morning, we were still a little tired from last night, but still had an active drive in store, no rest for the wicked as they say! To get the most out of Michigan we obviously needed to visit Detroit, but first it was time to go through Hell and back… After another …
A mammoth day was in store for us today, not only did we have a long drive but a pretty awesome activity planned in the evening. When I say we have an activity planned it’s usually something we decided to do that very morning. We’ve been pretty spontaneous on this trip and I feel it’s …
It seems somebody heard my wish and the weather has cleared up! We are glad the warmer weather is back in town and we are super excited for today! We are switching our recent string of boating/water events for some racing! For those of you who don’t know Ben’s always been an Formula 1 fan, …
