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 […]
dining
watkins glen (everything but the gorge).
we finally pulled into our campsite at watkins glen state park around 7pm, so an executive decision was made to go straight to dinner. another executive decision was made to make it mexican. after dinner, we took a quick drive down to the water, to see the last bit of daylight disappear over seneca lake. […]
back to blah-tavia.
as previously mentioned, we made one last visit to batavia, this time to meet up with derek’s parents who were going to stay with at my mom’s house for their first ever vacation to batavia. we arrived a day early, to settle in and relax before the chaos began. a lovely breakfast at miss batavia […]
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 […]
ohio. week 1.
at first glance, we thought our trip to ohio would be sort of boring. our site seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. we were mostly just trying to get a few free weeks in our network of rv parks that we are members of (thousand trails). anyhow, on our first day, we did […]
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 […]

may 17th.
well. we are in batavia now. and i’ll post a generic post about that soon. but first. allow me to post about may 17th. it began, with a little drive to medina, to visit a toy train museum. which is apparently owned by the one and only “fireman marty”, a local fireman, who used to […]
queen city getaway before the getaway.
so. our camper wasn’t going to be ready friday. we were staying at derek’s mom’s house. they weren’t even there. we only had a couple of clothes changes with us. the situation was getting old. so, derek bought some points from his dad and booked us a fancy pants hotel in uptown charlotte for the […]
our first weeks of homelessness.
after our yard sale, we spent a couple of days getting the rest of the stuff cleared out of the house (which mostly consisted of paying our painters some extra cash to get stuff out of the house). and the following monday, we left for a local thousand trails campsite. here is the official “we […]
