Seconds after I woke up today, I remembered that we were still in Orangeburg, SC, and it wasn’t just a bad dream.  I decided to rally the troops to get us out the door as quickly as possible so we could complete the last six hours of our road trip.  We picked through the limited breakfast choices, and I tried… Read more »

After enjoying a great night’s sleep in our comfortable room, it was once again time to embrace the day.  Since we were staying at the Hampton Inn we got to enjoy the delicious waffles that you can cook yourself.  Hunter loves waffles and they seem to help him get his day off to a good start.  Emily joined us for… Read more »

We awoke to yet another warm day in Strasburg PA.  We had about a five hour drive ahead of us today to get us to Roanoke, VA, so we made quick work of our morning.  Hunter and I headed down for what would be another challenging breakfast without Mom.  I basically got Hunter all set up to eat and about… Read more »

We awoke to a sunny and warm day in Strasburg, PA.  To see Hunter’s face this morning you would swear it was Christmas.  He could not get the day started fast enough, so he could get to his beloved trains.  Today was all about Hunter and trains.  We greeted the day with an extremely average breakfast and Hunter and I… Read more »

Thanks to our good friend Jon, we knew that if we could just get the car packed, delicious bagel sandwiches would be within our reach!  Hunter of course was hungry, so he and I headed down to get a quick bite before we hit the road.  Hunter met one of the hotel employees named Louisa (who he later would also… Read more »

The best part about the Best Western in Keene is that we were able to park our car right behind our room with a sliding door, so loading the car was a breeze!  Before we set out for our next destination we headed down to the lobby for a nice breakfast, which it actually was.  It was weird actually seeing… Read more »

The last day in Kennebunkport is always a sad one.  Not only is it one of our favorite places to visit, but it also marks that we are more than half way done with our road trip and are headed back to Florida.  Lucky for us, Emily has planned a lot of great stops along the way!

The sun rose on an absolutely perfect day in Maine.  We had a day packed full of activities so we were eager to get a jump on the day.  I brought some of the delicious hotel breakfast back to the room where Hunter and Mom eagerly awaited.  Waffles (if you can call them that) and microwave French toast sticks were… Read more »
