As we were driving our way through Canada this past week to get from Michigan to Montreal and then Maine, we fell upon a great local lunch place. It is a good idea when visiting an unfamiliar area to get some local help, so while we were camping at Chutes Provincial Park in Ontario we […]
Driving North up the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan, after passing a giant thermometer which shows the level of accumulated snowfall of the previous year, there is a stretch of highway where the trees create a canopy overhead like a covered bridge and the golden evening sunlight paints streaks on their shadows. Speeding over the curving, […]
The Pictured Rocks were recommended to us by our Uncle Lawry, whose well-traveled advice we follow whenever possible, so off we went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We camped at 12 mile beach, which is a campground just North of where the large cliffs start their rapid rise straight up into the sky from […]
Our cousins, Christy and Brian, invited us to visit with them in Minneapolis, Minnesota while we were in the area. During our stay, they acted as great tour guides and hosts, taking us to and suggesting great places we should eat and see while in town. Our first night, we all ate at Pizza Luce. Here, they serve specialty pizzas to […]
We were thrilled to be staying with our cousins, Christy and Brian, after their lovely wedding in Minneapolis, Minnesota especially because they have an incredible backyard garden! With their bountiful harvests, they are always looking for ways to utilize their delicious fresh fruit and vegetables. This is especially apparent since many of their wedding presents […]

Our next stop in North Carolina, after the beach, was to Greensboro and nearby Sea Grove to visit my Aunt Nancy and cousin Karen. During our stay in Greensboro, Karen and Aunt Nancy took Amanda and I to a popular downtown brewpub and to my aunt’s beautiful community dining room to eat. Karen also took […]
Large Styrofoam cups are constantly being re-filled with sweet, cold, crisp, strongly brewed tea, cool air being is pushed around by the ceiling fans, the walls are colored a nice sandy yellow and covered with pictures of local prize catches; this is the atmosphere greets us as we walk into the Fish Hook Grill on […]
As a newcomer to this whole camping thing, our latest venture was quite the test for me. My Uncle Wes and Aunt Tania took us to a favorite spot of theirs in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After arriving on the coast, we boarded a ferry to drop us off on the beach of […]
