Journey of a Lifetime
Indiana As we drove from the Cleveland area to Chicago, we cut across the northeast stretch of Indiana. We had been rushing to get to Chicago because we had tickets for the afternoon Cubs game at Wrigley field, but we were gifted with an extra hour as we shifted into the Central Time Zone. We … Read more
Urgent Care in Cleveland Monday morning we woke up and got ready for a long day at Cedar Point (the roller coaster capital of the world). Unfortunately Skylar’s stomach was upsetting him quite a bit, which kept him running to the bathroom. Something definitely seemed wrong — this was the second day that Skylar’s stomach … Read more
Canada This wasn’t the first time we had been to Canada but it was our first time we drove to Canada. Since we were close to Niagara Falls earlier we decided to enter into Canada from there and it was the longest wait to actually pass into the neighbor country. We probably waited a good … Read more
Vermont The green hill state was amazing to drive through and see. Though not too much to explore there were still a couple places we had to visit. The first was in Sharon Vermont, Joseph Smith’s birthplace. There is a massive 38 foot stone obelisk that stands next to a flower planter that used to … Read more
Just like in any big city, parking in Boston is outrageous so after a failed attempt to find something reasonable, we drove north a little to the Alewife T station and parked our car. We purchased day passes for the T (Boston’s metro) so we could ride unlimited throughout town. Freedom Trail Boston is incredibly … Read more
New Canaan, CT We traveled to New Canaan so I could meet Alyssa’s seminary teacher Brad Rowley and his wife Natalia, who just had their baby Jack. We also planned to stay with them while we explored New York City for a couple days. When we arrived Brad and Natalia had dinner waiting for us, … Read more
Delaware In a hurry to get to Philadelphia and experience the most we could, we made a quick stop in Wilmington, DE to grab a bite to eat. We found a good lunch at Loma Coffee, (no we don’t drink coffee) although it probably does make some amazing coffee, we ordered delicious sandwiches, one sub … Read more
Six Flags America We spent our first day in the area at Six Flags America. The colonial themed park in Maryland had some fun roller coasters: Apocalypse (standup), Batwing (lying down on your back, flips you over to your stomach throughout the ride), Mind Eraser, Superman (virtual headset optional – superman is saving you from … Read more
We got on the road a little later than anticipated thanks to mom’s late night viewing of the Disney show. Had we left early like planned we would have made a quick stop at Six Flags Over Georgia but we never did make it in time. We had a long 7 hour drive to get … Read more
The Hubbards We spent the majority of our time with the best family in Texas: the Hubbards. The first night we got there they took us to a real Texas BBQ where we stuffed our faces. It was just the beginning to an amazing Texas experience. The weather was hot and humid but better than … Read more
