This blog is something I have been looking for, for a long time, I plan on using it to keep up with friend and family and anyone else who wants to read along, about things I do, places I go, and just thoughts that run through my mind, trust me my mind can be a scary place.
Woke up around 8:00am, had breakfast at the hotel and headed to Vermont
for a night of camping (yea right) anyway we got on the road late, somewhere around 10:00am with many miles ahead of us. We arrived at our camp spot
somewhere around 3:00pm it ended up being on top of a snow skiing mountain that now being summer was like a ghost town.
We checked out the camp sites to find out we had the place all to ourselves…Score!!!
Right? WRONG!!! The little wife gave it a thumbs down…she was not happy being the only ones on the mountain (I think she had a doe deer attack flash back). With that said, I snapped a few photos
…sniff, sniff and down the mountain we went, this time with the GPS locked on to New Hampshire,
we arrived somewhere around 7:00pm. My turn to pick the room, I picked The Centennial,
wow did I do good, I got many, many brownie points
on this one. it turned out to be a beautiful place, it was an old antebellum home that was turned into an inn. Really, really nice, breakfast
and room service for 119 dollars a night,
I’m pretty sure my wife would have moved in there for good.
After many hours of driving, we crossed into New York to our next stop Lake Effect Diner.
Yep you guess it another Diner, Drive-in and Dive. We got to the diner somewhere around 1:00pm our GPS brought us to the diner right through what my wife call the bad part of town;
I just call it old.
Anyway we made it safe and sound, the diner was small, but cool looking. As with the last post, here is a photo, I will be doing a complete story in a post soon.
Next stop Niagara Falls,
it took a bit to find the place (only one of the biggest water falls in the world) but once we did, we got a room at the Comfort Inn right next to the falls (easy walk) we unpacked and headed to the falls, it was somewhere around 60 degree with a lots of wind so we stopped off at one of the many souvenir shops along the way and bought my wife a Niagara Falls sweatshirt to keep her warm during the walk.
The park itself is beautiful, lots of walking trails to and around the falls.
Well we made our way to the falls, and I have to say the scene from the movie Vacation came to mind.
The falls are beautiful
but seemed kind of small. I guess I had built them up in my mind. We took some photos and a few videos
then made our way around to the other side.
Then back to the room we went for some much needed rest, we had been doing back to back 500 mile driving days.
Woke up around 10:00pm that night to the sound of what I thought was thunder, then I realized it was not thunder at all, it was the fireworks show over the falls. I could see them from my window, the wife was dead to the world never moved out of bed…I guess I need to start calling her MY OLD LADY!!!
