Monday Memories: Apple Picking at DuBois Farms in Highland, NY
October 11, 2010 by 4 Comments
Earlier today I was looking through my picture files and I can not believe it's been two years since the last time we went apple picking. I love picking fresh fruit and smelling the fresh air through the orchards. I need to make a mental note and plan our next apple picking outing. Check out a few photos I took at Dubois Farms in 2008. It's a wonderful place where you can pick your own fruit from apples, pears, grapes, peaches and pumpkins, drink apple cider and eat delicious apple cider … [Read more...]
A Stroll Over The Hudson River
October 7, 2010 by 1 Comment
(click the photo to enlarge) When I think of the Hudson River, I think about tours that pass by the Statue of Liberty, helicopters flying over to see the many sights that New York City has to offer and of course, the ferries that go to Staten Island and New Jersey. What I don’t think about is walking across the Hudson River on a bridge – but not for long. My kids and I felt adventurous one Saturday so we planned on doing something different and explore something we’ve never done before. … [Read more...]

August 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Disclosure: The Volkswagen Routan was given to us as a loaner for review purposes only. It was made possible by the MWW Group. Thank you so much for making our road trip "extra special" Amy. ;) OK, so it's been a long 49 days since our family road trip with the star of the trip, the Volkswagen Routan. I know, I know. That was way over a month ago and you must be thinking, ok, why is she writing about this now? Honestly, life got in the way especially when there's kids involved and … [Read more...]

Summer Vacation is Here!
June 26, 2008 by Leave a Comment
The kids are off from school and I know I will run out of things to keep them busy. Unfortunately, this summer, we are unable to take a vacation because of all the prices going up. We will however, go to P.A. to visit some family for the weekend in August. So technically, that will be our little "vacation". One thing I would love to do is to check out some RVs For Sale and maybe we can think about traveling that way instead of going to a hotel. I have always wanted to travel in a … [Read more...]
Summer Vacations are Coming Soon
May 12, 2008 by Leave a Comment
When I think about the Summer, I think about the best Summer vacation I ever had. It was when my husband and I took the kids to Disneyworld in 2001. We had so much fun especially since we had no thoughts of terrorists. Even though my kids were only three and five they still remember almost every part of the trip. We had the best time of our lives. After Disneyworld, we hopped on the Disney cruise which was the perfect way to end our trip. I think I prefer the cruise over the parks any … [Read more...]
Travel Time at the W.H. Stark House
May 1, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Everyone that I know can tell you that I love to travel. It must be a part of my sign, which is a Sagittarius. I especially love to look at different books and web sites about Italy, Australia and France. I would love to go one of those places before I die. I think if I was a millionaire, I would never be home. I would be out traveling the world and looking at the many great places, especially landmarks. Landmarks are one of the greatest things to see in the world because it tells you a … [Read more...]
