Jersey Cows, Jersey Shores, team Jerseys, and the Boss was born in Long Branch, New Jersey. And there you have it. So when we set out this morning, we purposely selected a route that was a little longer because Trevor wanted to avoid driving in New York City to get to Harrison NJ, which is... Continue Reading →

I love the original Christmas in Connecticut movie but we are way too early for Christmas. I'm still excited visiting these states I've never been too. Connecticut is home to the Gillette Castle State Park. It is a pretty little drive in the woods. Peaceful. The Castle was the retirement home of William Gillette, actor,... Continue Reading →

Yep, Live Free or Die is New Hampshire's State Motto. Love it. New Hampshire has a more rugged outdoor vibe to it than Vermont does. We drove through White Mountain National Forest. Even though there was some rain, the drive was beautiful. We were ready to get back to hiking but there were a few... Continue Reading →

Vermont. The Green Mountain State. Totally accurate. It's beautiful and green and clean around here. I know some of you are going - wait, you should visit in late March/April when there's maple syruping going on or the fall when those beautiful green mountains are ablaze with color or in the winter to ski. Let... Continue Reading →

I can't believe we have been on the road living in hotels for over 30 days. We are into our second month of our year long adventure and have logged Over 5,600 miles, visited 16 out of the 48/49 states we plan on visiting, and been to Canada twice all while doing laundry and homeschool....
