Sounds like a great trip. When I was a kid we had a vacation on which we had a parents/kids agreement that every Native American museum/site would be matched with a ferry ride. So fun.
So, next time you are going to fly out west and do a Cascadia (OR, WA, BC) driving tour, right? I can promise bloggers and good food.
Sounds great! How was the Pippi audiobook?
You left out how many pairs of undies. ;-)
You must have done some good eating then!
fantastic.
hey! you were in my neck of the woods! hope you had fun in Boston and ate a lot of lobstah rolls along the way.
Wow -- I'm impressed! I would need some serious spa time to recover from all that vacation. ; )
Sounds like a great trip! I'm so glad (also more than a little jealous) that you got to meet Sue and Bon.
Lovely. I would like to copy it minute by minute.
That's a lot of mileage. I'd definitely love the trip, but at a much slower pace and with a lot more oysters.
Fantastic idea of management of celebrating holiday and vacation to some desired place and destinations which is just like rocket schedule to be carried out.
thanks for it is really very cool!
I'm sorry to have missed you on your Boston stops! Sounds like you had lots of fun :-)
Oh, so close to Vermont
Lucky on all counts--especially going to Green Gables. One of these years....
...it was good to meet you. :)
Oh, it's all too much. I travel much, much more slowly these days. That is, not at all.
