Our road trip has begun!

After an early and busy morning - Chad, Dexter and I set off for the first day of our long anticipated cross-country road trip. It started off with some minor squabbles over car space. In the end I conceded and left a few unnecessary items (bag of alcohol included) at home. When packing it seemed important to have the Bombay Sapphire with us for those hot summer nights when nothing will taste better than a gin and tonic. I'm sure they'll have alcohol in Montana.




We stopped in Vermont for lunch at one of their welcome center rest stops. All states should take a lesson from Vermont. This place was beautiful. It was full of wildflowers, a few picnic areas, a large fenced in area for dogs, and it had WIFI. The restrooms even had flowers in them. And there was still crazy moose greeting you on the way into the welcome center.

Our original intended endpoint for the day for Lake George in the Adirondacks. Upon arrival to the campsite, we opted to keep on going for fear of the rain. We didn't want to get stuck with a tent we wouldn't be able to dry completely before packing it back up. We did drive for a long while through them and it's just beautiful. The area reminded us a lot of Cape Breton in Canada.

We stopped by this bridge on the Hudson River and Dexter immediately wanted to jump in the play with the geese. We ended up in Utica for the night and hope to find something Lake Erie-esque to see here before we make it to Niagara Falls.
