Our little West Virginia weekend trip continues! Yesterday we were at Seneca Rocks and today we are checking out Blackwater Falls State Park! This is one place we’ve had on our list for a while now so we were excited to explore all that it had to offer. The park is of course named after Blackwater Falls, but we found so much more...
Our next adventure brought us to the state of Maryland. We wanted to see some waterfalls of course, which brought us to Swallow Falls State Park. The park is notable for its stand of old hemlock trees, some are more than 300 years old. The day couldn’t have been more perfect when it came to the weather and sunshine! The water was...
And our amazing journey has come to an end in New York. Today was filled with seeing three of the biggest waterfalls we’ve seen on this trip. The first stop was Buttermilk Falls State Park, which was one of the most busy areas we have gone to with tourists. Buttermilk Falls was also the closest waterfall to our hotel, with only...
And on the third day we had rain….This was one of our coldest and rainy days we had on our this trip but it was still such a great experience. We did discuss staying in this day at breakfast but we decided to stick it out and go on another adventure. Today we decided to go to Fillmore Glen State Park. Fillmore Glen State Park was our...
Our soaking socks, dirty, cut up hands, and our aching legs, didn’t even bother us this trip. We loved this geologically impressive area near Garrettsville, Ohio named Nelson Ledges State Park! Our car ride was only about an hour and a half from Pittsburgh and we did decide to take the turnpike for most our trip and recommend you...
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...
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...
