Photography, Fun, and Adventure in the U.S.
Autumn in New England definitely is amazing, and our time in Vermont and New Hampshire was absolutely wonderful. The leaves on the trees — the golds, oranges, and reds — were simply spectacular and a memory we will definitely cherish. If you have New England in autumn on your bucket
From Oswego in Central New York, we continued eastward traveling first to just south of the Adirondacks, arriving in Saratoga Springs. Our first order of business was to get back on our bicycles before it gets too chilly to enjoy riding them… and we found the perfect rail-trail to explore

From Ohio, we entered the very tip top of Pennsylvania — a very small section squeezed between Ohio and New York — visiting Erie for several days… and getting a good look at Lake Erie, our fourth Great Lake. Pennsylvania (officially, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania), the 29th state we have
Because of stormy weather, we only got to spend one day at this beautiful national park, but we packed a LOT into the one day! The 32,572-acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park only became a national park in 2000 — but it had been a national recreation area since 1974. It
