Buffalo Wing Festival, The Adventure Begins in Buffalo, NY!

Family and I are in Buffalo, NY this weekend.  We are attending the Buffalo Wing Festival!  We are staying at the Holiday Inn in Downtown Buffalo. Who did we see entering the room next to us?  No other than The Wing King himself! Stay tuned for updates about our experience! In the meantime, here's a little history and background on the Buffalo [...]

Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND

We left Billings, MT and were slowly starting to make our way home.  We now had to drive through North Dakota.  I had never driven through this state, but everyone I spoke to said it wasn't much to look at.  The the scenery was flat and boring. So you can imagine my surprise, as we drove down I94 when I started seeing huge cliffs, and than [...]

Discovering Billings, MT

After wonderful night at the Country Inn and Suites, we packed our bags and decided to do some of the things listed on their Peaks and Valleys Country itinerary. First stop that morning before getting on the road was at Dehler Park, the Billings Mustangs ballpark.  Christopher Marshall, Director of Operations for Dehler Park honored us with a [...]

Journey to Missoula, MT/Helen’s Corral Drive-Inn

The morning after our second night camping was beautiful...and it was a perfect day.  We packed up the Routan and started making our way out of Yellowstone.  But not before making a few stops at some amazing places.

From Sioux Falls to The Badlands, South Dakota

Another early morning, but not as early as the ones before, and definitely slower in pace.  We woke up almost used to the routine already, on the fifth day into our Road Trip Adventure.   We arrived to Sioux Falls yesterday afternoon.  I spent most of the day dozing off in the car.  My husband loves to drive, so getting him to agree to let me [...]

From the Zoo to Downtown, Madison, WI

We had a busy day today.  It is our last day before we head out to our next stop.  I wanted to share with you those fun things I love to do when I am with my family in Madison. It truly is a great town. And though I am a New Yorker to the bone, I can't help but feel nostalgic and miss my former home every time I visit. We missed a few places, [...]

The Adventure Begins: The Minivan

The Adventure Begins: The Minivan

The time has arrived.  We are packed. We are ready to go. Everyone is in bed, resting for the early morning trip ahead, but I am here, writing to you. My hope is that we start making our way to Madison, WI by 5:30am.   Today was exciting, and stressful, and exhausting.  You can see it in my face on the video below.  We got the 2009 Volkswagen [...]
