after our long, boring week in duchesne, utah, we made our way to heber city, just outside of salt lake city. we needed to be near an airport, so derek could fly out for work for the week. derek put us up in a fancy pants rv park with all the best amenities, and close […]

rifle, colorado.
our final week in colorado was spent at rifle gap state park, just a bit north of rifle. aside from our trip to hanging rock and aspen on our first day, we didn’t do much, besides recover from several weeks of friends, family and constant adventure. first things first, we settled back into some routine. […]
george w. childs parkdelaware water gap nra
well. we are in pennsylvania. after all of our weekend travels to get here, we spent a bit of downtime before resuming our adventures. on wednesday, i had big plans to go for a three mile hike with the kids. but, they were pretty resistant, so we settled on a 1.5 mile hike that was […]
baxter state park (maine).
for our last great maine adventure, derek took off work so we could spend a day hiking and canoeing in baxter state park. but first, we needed to fill up on a big fat lunch at a local restaurant. i’m glad we did, because we were able to purchase a trail map while we were […]
accord new york, week one.
we have been extra lazy at our new spot. we are here for three weeks. it’s a nice campground. the kids are tired of having daily epic adventures. there’s not a TON to do in the immediate vicinity. so, lazy it is. lots of legos. our site is close to the pool. and it’s been […]
ithaca.
our stay in watkins glen state park ended on a friday morning and since we didn’t want to a) have derek use personal time to drive to our next spot and b) leave the finger lakes area, we hopped 45 minutes over to a campsite in ithaca for a couple of days. derek went straight […]
watkins glen gorge.
as previously mentioned in the last post, the kids, derek’s mom, and i hiked the gorge on our first full day in watkins glen. derek’s dad drove us to the top and we hiked down where he picked us up later, which made it so much easier, especially with my forty pounds of precious cargo. […]
western new york tourism day
after our time with les-o-lie on the shire, we went back to batavia, to await the arrival of derek’s parents. they drove up from nc to niagara falls, where we met them for a day of doing super touristy stuff. just as we got in line to ride the maid of the mist, it began […]
letchworth. week 2.
our second week at letchworth was a little more low-key than the first. after all of the weekend campers cleared out, we took over the bathroom to get this grubby kid all cleaned up. since the showers only blast scalding hot water, we opted for the sink. we went to warsaw, to laurie’s diner or […]
letchworth state park. part 1.
so, on memorial day, we packed up and left my mom’s and headed to letchworth state park. it’s only about 35 minutes or so from batavia, so it was a pleasant commute. we’ve been pretty busy exploring so far, and i have been forced to take an excessive amount of picture due to the majestic […]
