Exploring Shenandoah Valley

We ended up in the Shenandoah Valley as part of our quest to hit all of the national parks in the country and it is the home of Shenandoah National Park.  The thing we were looking forward to most was that we were in bear country and Shenandoah National Park is known for bear sightings.  We were also in the midst of several underground cavern systems so we...

A Day in New York City

We were really looking forward to spending a day in New York City as tourists.  Even though we travel full time, we both have full-time jobs that require us to be present during specific hours of the day and thus, we are often limited in what we can do when we only have a week in one location.  Luckily, we had a full day on the weekend where we got to...

We could barely see 5 feet in front...

Enjoying fall in New Hampshire

Where we stayed We stayed...
