It was a cool, crisp, lovely beautiful day along the far Northeast seaboard. The Scary House fits in nicely here this time of year. Downtown Kennebunkport is quite a quaint spot. We are at the very end of the season and many stores and restaurants are already closed for the winter. Even just glancing at […]

Today we joined poker cruise friends for a tour around the Boston area. It worked well for us as we have traveled quite a bit within the city proper and it is always more fun to be with friends. Our first stop was Harvard. There are so many impressive buildings here. The library is just […]
We popped into New York for two nights on the way to a Card Player Poker Cruise. That allowed us to have two nice dinners and take in a play. We stayed at the Times Square Edition. I’m not a big fan of Times Square but it is close to all places we needed including […]

If you happen to be as geographically challenged as I, then you probably thought of Green Bay as a cold football place way north of Chicago and never even heard of Sturgeon Bay. Well, that is where we spent the final two nights of in our RV. Door County, the Eastern most County in Wisconsin […]

Heading north is the Mackinaw Bridge which crosses to the Upper Peninsula, referred to locally as “U.P.” and then Lake Superior. The bridge is five miles long (longer than Golden Gate) and was the […]

With fewer than 500 residents, it is no surprise that we had never heard of it prior to planning this trip. But wait; they have over 50,000 people there during summer days and over […]
