First day of travel! Welcome to our journey.

Hi everyone,
This is our third big road trip!  Its hard to believe that we did this trip several years ago.  Each trip has its own personality to me.  The purpose of this trip is to make memories with Sophia!  She graduated this year from high school and soon will be starting her own journey at OSU.

If you are new to our blogs, you can look back on head east with us and head west with us on blogspot!  Basically I do my best to share our days on the road and the adventures we go off on.  We also do contests!  Everyone loves a contest right?  First off you may guess the number of miles we drive for the total of the trip.  Remember today was our first day on the road and our last day is July 1st.  You may want to wait until the end of the trip to decide your guess:)  You never know what we will do while on our trips, diversions, side trips, getting lost, and who knows what else.  Then we do some other ones which we will announce through the blog or our facebook pages.  

Tomorrow we will head to Cleveland Ohio and then visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Then off to Canada to view the falls!  Then a pit stop in Hersey PA.  Then we arrive into NYC for a week.  This is when Andrea, Jennie and Kathy will join up with us.  Also, my great friend Dru!  Cant wait to see her.  We have tickets to Dear Evan Hansen and Miss Saigon.  Plans to visit all sorts of places in the city and then on to Boston for a few days.  Then head up the coast to Maine and New Hampshire. Then stop off in Philadelphia and our final big stop is Washington DC.

Today was pretty much a day to drive and get someplace.  We did stop in Joplin to get the car serviced and then I somehow talked the gang into a long awaited bucket list stop at the Animal Safari near Springfield MO.   It was a fun little drive and we did get to see a lot of animals.  I enjoyed it and I think they did as well.   We are now in Troy, IL for the night and will head out again in the morning.

I hope you will follow along with us.  I love to share my ramblings and occasionally I am kind of funny:)

Boston day 2

It was a busy day but a great one!  First one of my dear friends from High School was free to meet up, which is a miracle considering that I basically gave her two days notice and no idea of a time or place to meet up. We ended up meeting at the Boston Science Museum and doing a few of the exhibits there.  Let me say that while I love Science Museum Oklahoma this is hands down above and beyond most places! While they revamped the chick hatching area that used to be there it was still there so I got to see some baby chicks and you know I love that.  We also watched the lightening show they do there which is pretty impressive.  We grabbed a bite to eat and then headed to Bunker Hill.  In case you don't know, today is Bunker Hill day!  So they had a lot of people dressed up and were doing weapon demonstrations. We walked down Bunker Hill to the pier where the USS Constitution is dry docked.  I have never been on it before it was really neat.  Wan...

Return from York, Maine and into the Revolution

So I actually couldn't post while we were in York. We stayed at Inn On the Blues and the internet didn't work so this is a bit of catching up. We loved Bar Harbor!  It was so pretty there and calming.  I am just an ocean person I think.  It restores me.  I look out and watch the waves and then watch them crash into the shore or into rocks and burst up in almost a flare of fireworks.  It reminds me that I need to breathe, slow down, and relax sometimes.  I take mental pictures from the shore, looking at the rocks and thinking how over time they are etched with a story to tell.  Remembering how strong the rocks are and how powerful the ocean is.  In our audio tour they said that in the winter the surf can cross the road, this means huge huge waves.  I would love to see it someday like that.  Our hotel had a power outage early in the morning we were due to leave.  They handled it very well!  They had staff out to help guests get...
