last weekend, we had our biggest adventure so far, two days in boston. derek worked hard to create a two day long itinerary of educational adventures for the five of us. so, we woke up early friday and drove to beantown. we dropped the car off at the hotel, had some breakfast, and called an […]

gateway to cape cod. week one. the “boring” parts.
ok. i am about to post six different posts about the last week of our adventure. we have been very busy doing lots of fun and exciting (and maybe even educational) things. but, first. let me post about the in between moments. in other words, i’ll be getting the boring post out of the way. […]
single mom in sturbridge mass.
**warning: this post is mega-long** the spot we finally decided on in sturbridge was next to the beach/lake, store/office, pool and rec area. it’s pretty convenient, even if strangers tend to feel very comfortable taking a shortcut through our site to get to any of these places. (and messing with our stuff…) lakeside: being next […]
albany field trip.
the one positive for staying in one park for more than a week is that we can plan big family trips for the weekend days, instead of packing up and traveling. i’m sure derek feels the same. so on saturday, we decided to head to albany, for a family field trip. on the way in, […]
travel day. ithaca to accord.
after our two nights in ithaca, we spent a very slow morning getting ready to head to our next spot in accord, ny. while we packed up, the kids colored the balloons from wegmans with crayola markers, with made for some super messy kiddos. of course we left some stuff out to dry overnight and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. 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 […]
batavia. random. to date.
we have been in batavia for about a week and a half. it’s mostly been very chill. we will stay through the weekend and then on memorial day, we will pack up and head over to letchworth state park for two weeks. i’m looking forward to it. but, here’s what’s been happening in batavia for […]
