• A Beautiful Ending

    In Littleton, NH we were blessed with autumn's splendor as we explored this fabulous little town along the lovely Ammonoosuc River.

  • Not the Fastest Route!

    Why waste a 2.5-hour relocation just driving, when we can spend time checking out historic covered bridges along the way. Good times!

    In Brattleboro, beautiful fall colors embellished our hikes and some music in a renovated Victorian Gothic church made for a memorable day.

    On this trip we returned to the same resort in Wilmington, VT – at the southern end of the state with spectacular scenery around every curve.

  • A New England Autumn

    While our itinerary included more waterfalls and covered bridges, breweries, and a visit to Delaware – our 50th state – life had other plans.

    This post finishes off our extensive list of things to see during our time in Massachusetts. As great as it was, I'm sure we'll be back.

  • Another Day, Another Mansion

    Naumkeag is known for its fabulous gardens and its Berkshire "cottage". Today this Gilded Age mansion was all decked out for Halloween!

  • Bridges, Blooms & Beyond

    Today we also saw waterfalls and potholes and discovered Galumpkis. The colors are coming on nicely, which adds to the marvelous of MA.

  • A Bounty of Bridges

    We left early this morning with an extensive list of covered bridges to explore. Beautiful blue skies and warm temps made this a perfect day.

  • The Search for Lights

    This post is chock full of gorgeous lighthouses! Along with the lights came fantastic views and birds, and just a little more history.

  • For the Love of Water

    In this post we'll see Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, Barnstable Harbor, and the Atlantic Ocean. And you know what that means – lighthouses!

  • Walk Into History

    We were blessed with beautiful days in Boston and we took advantage of every hour that we could, to be out and about exploring.

  • A City on a Hill

    For our three days in Boston, we sprung for a great hotel right near the Freedom Trail. We strolled right out of our hotel and into the city.

  • History 101

    As someone who hated high school history class, I'm amazed at how much I enjoy visiting places from those dreaded books and lectures.

  • All Things New Hampshire

    This post is a combination of all things New Hampshire in one fantastic day – babbling brooks, waterfalls, walks in the woods, and more!

  • New Hampshire Bridges

    Under a covered bridge is a good place to find its heart and imagine what it has lived through – above the ever-changing flow of a river.

  • Climb to the Clouds

    Although Jim did not appreciate this driving experience, the views and the excitement on the Mount Washington Auto Road were fantastic!

  • Castle in the Clouds

    Last time we were here, it was rainy, cloudy and the gates were closed, but we returned nine years later on a truly spectacular day.

  • Another Week of Wow!

    We moved our home base to NH near the Attitash whistle stop. Here we had plenty of opportunities to explore the splendor of New Hampshire.

  • The Hundred Mile View

    As our stay in Wilmington winds down, this post takes us on Route 9 which offers just a glimpse of Vermont's extraordinary Green Mountains.

  • Vermont Covered Bridges

    This post proves we're not being couch potatoes with some random stops and a plethora of covered bridges that we found in the vicinity.

  • Historic Wilmington

    After some stops in NY, we arrived at the historic Crafts Inn. It will be a fun week in this beautiful town and the surrounding areas.
