We travelled to The Clark Art Institute Museum specifically to see their outdoor exhibit Ground/Work2025, which Sue had read about prior to our trip. What we discovered is that The Clark is so…

FDR Presidential Library and Museum
We have come to enjoy and now look for opportunities to visit Presidential Libraries . In each of the libraries we’ve visited so far (LBJ, Clinton, FDR), we have come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the men and politics of the time. FDR’s library and museum served to remind us of the…

Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio
During our spring planning for this trip, with thanks to Roadtrippers, we scheduled a stop at the historic home of George Morris and Suzy Frelinghuysen in Lenox, Massachusetts. We had no knowledge of their artwork, or specific reason to visit other than we were passing by and had the time. The place looked interesting and…

Their dedication and foresight continue to inspire and benefit all Americans to this day. We enjoyed our hikes through the forest, and stunning views along the coastline. This…

Another Bore in Moncton
We returned to Moncton, NB to see the tidal bore for a second time. We wrote about this in a post last year recapping our trip prior to contracting Covid on PEI. You may recall that we had to cut our visit to Canada short in order to spend 3 weeks quarantining and recovering in…

Crossing New Brunswick
The drive from Quebec City, Quebec to Moncton, New Brunswick is 480 miles. We have driven more than 400 miles in a single day but we only would consider doing so if we are time constrained. Since we were not pressed for time, we stopped part way across New Brunswick. We chose a campground called…
