museum
harrisburg… museum + capitol.
our current campground is about 30 minutes from harrisburg, pennsylvania, which is cool for a couple of reasons. one, there are several free museums that we can visit with our science museum membership. and two, it’s the capital. so, a couple of days ago, off we went. we chose the whitaker center for arts and […]
new jersey day (trains and mines).
last saturday, we crossed the over the border (and the delaware river) and spent the day in new jersey. derek had picked out a few activities for us, so we could put our NJ sticker on our state map. our first stop was at a little model train museum. it definitely wasn’t nearly as impressive […]
the crayola experience.
on thursday, i took the girls to “the crayola experience”. it’s about an hour away in easton, pa, which is where the crayola factory is. who doesn’t love crayola. anna the artist was so excited. hazel too. isaac didn’t want to go. so he spent a long and boring day at the camper with derek. […]
boston, day two.
after our luxurious night in our fancy pants hotel and a delicious continental breakfast, we got started on our second day of our boston adventures. first up, we walked to the boston tea party museum, which was only about 3 minutes from our hotel. but first, i took a detour to take pics of the […]
boston, day one.
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 […]
providence, RI.
our second big adventure last week was a road trip to providence, rhode island. originally, i had planned to spend the day there when we had to take derek to the airport, except his flight was canceled and his new one was out of boston and his return flight to providence was late at night […]
old sturbridge village x2.
i had to save this post for the last of my adventures in sturbridge, massachusetts posts, for one because it was taking a million years for my pics to go from my phone to the cloud. and for two, because it was taking another million years for derek to send me some pics that he […]
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 […]
the third and final week in accord. thankfully.
our third week in accord (and our last week in new york state) started off with car trouble, as mentioned in the previous post. so, we were stuck to the campground, while derek handled overseeing the repair of our trusty steed. on sunday, since we had a late start getting to the pool, all of […]
