Jumbo’s Cove Train Tunnel
I don’t remember how I discovered this place or its location. I know I have had it on my vast list of places to explore ever since I started making a list of places to go. Jumbo’s Cove Train Tunnel would be one of our…
Haileybury House
D-I-V-O-R-C-E Obviously on such long road trips we listen to a lot on music. Charlene can be heard singing along to the songs and as anyone knows, the last song has a tendency to get stuck in one’s head even when it has long stopped…
Alaska Trip -Day 1 -Summary
We finally got to do this. Years of delays. Then figuring out how to get the time off. Planning. More planning. And then there was the money aspect. Once all of these were set, we drove to Alaska. It has always been a dream of…

Trinity Church – New York City
We were in New York City. An unexpected, hastily planned trip where we were wandering around enjoying the views of the Big Apple. We had no idea we were walking on Broadway – a very famous street. And then we stumbled upon Wall Street –…
Lyndhurst Mansion
Along the Hudson River are so many great places to explore and learn. We were able to briefly touch this region on our return home from New York City. Like so many mansions in this area, it was built to be far enough away from…
