Seneca Falls Road Trip
We had done a trip to Seneca Falls on a long weekend. This trip can be easily converted to a three-day journey to this area in New York during any time of the week or the year. I have created a map and an itinerary…
Husky the Muskie
I love mini-stops. These are places where I put into our itinerary when we are travelling. Generally, it is a quick stop to look at something, snap a picture, and away we go to the next destination. But sometimes, a mini-stop turns into something bigger.…
