What a perfect way to end the trip, BRANSON! What is not to love about Branson if you are a kid? Just look at the photos and see the quick stop on our way back to Dallas. We packed in putt-putt, go carts and an alpine coaster. Along with a farmer's market and walking around the boardwalk, we enjoyed our last stop in Missouri. Stay turned for some "outtake photos" in the coming days. Thank you for sharing our fun summer adventure with you. Wishing you all a hap...

Hello Celevand! As we began our journey towards home, we decided to stop in Cleveland to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Bryan and I loved it and found ourselves saying, "look boys, Pearl Jam! Look, Tupac, Blondie, R.E.M., The Rolling Stones....!" What a great place for those of us that grew up in the 80's and 90's. Although the boys appreciated the experience, aside from musicians like Michael Jackson and Elvis, they just didn't relate. Whoops, we have some...

You can't go this far and not hit Niagara Falls, right? We thought this would be a typical Clark Griswold moment for the family. A quick view of the Falls and the boys would be done. To our surprise, they were really into it. We went on a tour behind Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. The only side to really see the whole view of all three waterfalls. Bryan and I did take a detour to the Gretzky Distillery and Winery in Niagara Valley. Who knew you could grow wi...

We had a quick stop planned in Vermont with plenty of hiking. We cancelled due to rainy weather and opted for a local tour of the area. While the weather did clear up, the trails were still very muddy. Since we have enjoyed quite a bit of hiking the last week, we decided a muddy trek was not our first choice. We'll just have to go back another time and check out the great hiking that Vermont and the mountains have to offer. Well, did we make the best of it? I th...

We made it to our most northeastern point of our trip in New Brunswick, Canada. Again, the Canadian campsites do not disappoint. We had our first experience with the Atlantic Time Zone and to be honest, we didn't even realize their was another time zone in North America. Our first day we did the whole Bay of Fundy experience. We started out by driving up to the Hopewell Rocks to see the famous Flower Pots at high tide. We planned to come back later in the day t...
