Well we made it home.  We got up and hit the road at midnight.  When we hit Arkansas we hit a cold front.  It was only 80 degrees, so I kept on driving.  The next thing I know it was 7PM and I was pulling into the drive way.  It was a wonderful trip but I think [...]

Niagara Falls was amazing.  Words can’t describe it.  It is something that everyone should see at least once in there life. What is not amazing is the heat.  It is cooler in Texas than it is here in New York.  What has made it worse is the A/C in the van has gone out.  We [...]

Today, we visited Montmorency Falls and Citadelle of Quebec. I thought Melinda was going to faint as we crossed the walking bridge over the falls. We then walked over a 1000 steps up and down the side of the falls.   We all got wet at the bottom of the falls were the mist coming up from the [...]

We enjoyed a wonderful ceremony on the Mic-Mac reservation in upper Canada on July 4th.  We had an incredible breakfast that morning.  It was difficult communicating with the waiter.  He spoke very little English, but did wish us a Happy American Day.  It took us a while to realize he was wishing us a happy [...]

Bill, the father of the bride and Melinda’s dad has a favorite movie, “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.”  It may not be his favorite any more after living it.  The plane he was to take to get to the wedding had issues.  We were concerned that he would not make the wedding.  He luckily was able [...]

We just arrived at our Canada hotel.  It does not have A\C.  Luckily, it is 60 outside.  I did not relize that we would loose another hour when coming into this part of Canada.  It has been a long and exhausting drive.  It would be nice to sleep in but the sun rises very early.  [...]

We visited the Statue of Liberty yesterday morning.  I have come to the conclusion that the Internet and Hollywood have spoiled seeing some things in person.  We had our expectations of what the Statue of Liberty would look like based on what we have seen online or in the movies.  The Statue of Liberty itself [...]

Today, we left for New Jersey.  Before we left we visited a few more Amish sites and returned to Intercourse for a few things.  We could not find Megan a shirt that she liked better than the one she first saw in Intercourse.  I also wanted some more homemade Amish Ice Cream from Lapps.  It [...]

Last night, we stayed in old-fashioned caboose turned into a motel. The Red Caboose is an interesting place to stay. If you are ever around Paradise, PA it is worth at least one nights visit. Yesterday, we went on a buggy ride to a working Amish farm. Today we plan to head back to Bird-in-Hand [...]

You can say what you will about the Amish, but you can’t say they don’t have a sense of humor.  How could you not have a sense of humor when you name towns Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, and Blue Ball.  We started the day driving around Bird-in-Hand then we went to Intercourse, PA.  We went on a [...]
