Again we have had a busy week and have been fortunate enough to see many national parks and sights throughout New York State. The weather has turned uncharacteristically warm and all the locals seem to be talking about is how strange it is to be so warm at this time of year and that they usually still have 6 feet of snow for another month which means all the ski resorts etc have had to close down early but it suits Jesse and I perfectly especially because it ...

Our third week at the Ranch has been fantastic and we are now able to ride by ourselves whenever we want and have been exploring the different trails through the forest and still haven't managed to get lost. We have also been riding different horses because they all need to be exercised so its been fun getting to know their different personalities except for this one horse 'Calie' who bit me on my love handle while I was doing up her girth, I did know she was b...

After checking into our hotel we walked the 1.5mile path across a bridge into downtown Nashville and saw the beautiful city lit up with fairylights in the trees on the sidewalk. We were headed to Bridgestone stadium to see our first Ice-hockey game and were following directions given by the man at the front desk of the hotel. Fortunately we had to walk along Broadway St to ...
