Our Summer 2019 Road Trip was a blast!
3, 102 miles driven. 2 countries. 8 states. Endless memories.
We stayed with family in Pennsylvania, booked an Airbnb in NYC, stayed at a bed & breakfast in Canada, tent-camped for 2 nights in Ohio, stayed 1 night in a hotel in WV & stayed 3 nights in a hotel in Georgia on Jekyll Island. It was an incredible 2 weeks on the road together! We arrived home and wanted to set off again, which was an unexpected feeling. I guess not all who wander are lost.
Pine Crick, PA Highlights:
- Peaceful place to begin road trip – lots of kayak trips with fam
- Summer party with 150 people – we were the bartenders due to a last-minute cancellation:) Good times!
NYC Highlights:
- Walked the entire Brooklyn Bridge
- Spending 4+ hours in the 9/11 Memorial Museum
- Took the “Hard Times Tour” at the Tenement Museum (we love hearing immigrant stories and have taken a tour each time we are in NYC!)

- Eating pizza in Little Italy (must-see neighborhood in DT Manhattan)
- Walking around Chinatown
- Times Square for Dinner

Niagara Falls Highlights:
We highly recommend crossing the border and experiencing the falls from the Canadian side. They were so beautiful and breathtaking!
