It is hard to believe that day three of our second road trip
is coming to a close. The last few days have been an absolute blur.
On the first day of our road trip we stayed the night in
Middleboro, MA. This site is about 45 minutes south of Boston. It was a good
stopping point for the first day.
On the second day we visited one of my favorite places on
the planet, Plymouth, MA! The Mayflower II is currently under renovation however
we still visited the exhibit, wandered through a few of the gardens and toured
the Jenny Grist Mill. It was just lovely and the weather was wonderfully
cooperative.
After our amazing visit to Plymouth we traveled through
Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York. We spent the evening in Herkimer,
NY where we braved an insane thunderstorm. Thunder, lightning, hail pieces the
size of quarters, 55 mph winds- the whole nine years. We were incredibly
grateful when the morning dawned bright and clear.
We originally had planned to visit Saratoga however that was
far too much of a detour. Instead we stopped at the William H. Seward House in
Auburn, NY. Seward was governor of New York in the mid-nineteenth century and
secretary of state under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. His house was
gorgeous and contained so many wonderful tidbits from that particular time
period.
After our tour we hopped on the road to Buffalo, sped
through Erie, PA and are now camped in Ohio.
Tomorrow we hit up Chicago and begin our trek through the
MidWest!
