Peace is always beautiful, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park was just that. Cuyahoga was our first National Park we traveled to and we were absolutely amazed. It’s crazy to think that all the falls and these trails are only an hour and a half away from Pittsburgh. The park is a fortress for flowers and wildlife, and provides many...
While Kayla is the one who typically writes the blogs, I decided to go ahead and write this one as she surprised me for my birthday with this trip. The trip to Erie started out with her telling me we were going somewhere for my birthday and to pack enough clothes for 2 days. Once in the car and realizing we were going north I had an idea...
Some people say, “Sometimes the best things are right in front of you, it just takes some time to see them”. We are living extremely close to one of the most beautiful natural waterfalls and we didn’t even know it. This blog is about McConnells Mill State Park, which is in Portersville, Pennsylvania. This was a great day trip due...
Bob and I always try and make the most of each trip we take. The same day as Kinzua we decided to adventure off to a place called Rimrock. One thing I have learned over the years is to always take the time to do the things that make you the happiest. Rimrock was only 40 minutes away from Kinzua State Park and we couldn’t pass up the...
The greatest part about bridges is you never know what’s on the other side, what steps your about to take, and your always walking towards a new place. In this case, this bridge we decided to walk across came crashing down in 2003. Kinzua Bridge was partially ruined by a tornado and once was the longest and tallest railroad...
I remember someone telling me once that if you obey all the rules than you miss out on all the fun. Well, with our next adventure we definitely did not follow any of the rules but found the most beautiful locations by following our adventurous instincts. We just left Watkins Glen and we didn’t think we could find a location in the...
Off we go on another adventure to Watkins Glen State Park in New York. This has been our furthest trip so far, taking us about 5 hours to get there. We drove the morning of and got to New York about 2:00 pm. We also booked a hotel for two nights so we could take our time exploring. We did plenty of research before deciding to drive this...
Another adventure in the books….This experience led us to Conneaut Lake, located in Pennsylvania. Conneaut was only an hour and a half drive from Pittsburgh and the drive was beautiful! Bob actually has been here before as a kid and we thought it would be a great day to check it out many years later. Conneaut Lake is connected to...
New places, new feelings, and new memories. Hocking Hills State Park was one of our first trips where we stayed one night due to distance. Hocking Hills is a part of a Allegheny Plateau in Ohio, that features cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls. There are many things to do, which include countless outdoor attractions, rock...
Our first trip together was to Ohiopyle State Park, which is about an hour and a half away from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ohiopyle is known for the the natural scenery and the Youghiogheny River Gorge. Ohiopyle has many things to do for being so close to the city and something for the whole family to do. Ohiopyle has hiking, white water...
