During the summertime I’m always impressed with the colorful sunsets that light-up the sky. During this time of the year the colors are bright, vivid and magical. You’ll see shades of red, orange, coral, yellow and pruple. At times the colors appear to be almost …

This miniature (not so mini) Statue of Liberty is located in Dauphin, Pennsylvania. If you’re driving down routes 322/22 toward’s Harrisburg you should be able to see it out your car window to your right. It’s on a stone column from an old railroad bridge in the middle of the Susquehanna River.
It stands 25 feet tall and is a replica of the original Statue of Liberty. It’s only accessible by small boat if you want to see it close-up and personal. Routes 322/22 is a BUSY highway and it’s really hard to pullover to the side of the road to get a decent photograph of it. If that’s your intentions, you’ll want to try it during non-prime traveling hours. Otherwise, use the zoom feature on your camera to zoom in for a quick shot as your passing by.
Over the years the Dauphin Statue of Liberty has become quite the roadside attraction. We often see travelers who are passing through trying to grab a photograph of it. It’s one of those things that you would never expect to see out in the middle of the Susquehanna River!

Can you believe that it’s July 4th, 2024 already? Summer is flying by at a quick pace. July 4th is a day that my family always looks forward to. We host a backyard barbecue and swimming pool party. We serve all kinds of great tasting food, drinks, swim and we have at least 5 different outdoor games set up in our backyard. That’s not including the swingset, sand box and stuff for the kids to do. It’s a day for a lot of fun and family bonding time.
Last weekend though…we took our kids to a local community center to listen to a talk about the birth of our nation and how July 4th, Independence Day came to be. Afterwards we headed to a local cemetery to place wreaths and flags on veteran’s graves. It’s always important to teach our kids at a very early age the TRUE history about our country and how they must show respect for our veterans. Freedom isn’t free and it always comes at a cost.
Anyway, Happy Independce Day! Hope you enjoy the time with your loved ones.
For years we’ve wanted to see the seals in their natural habitate and finally got the chance to go see them! Back in February we hit the road and headed to Sandy Hook in New Jersey. During the winter season you’ll often see seals hanging …
Last month we were down in Wildwood, New Jersey for a week long vacation. While we were there we got to watch the beach replenishment project get underway. As a guy…I find projects like this interesting. I like equipment, tools and big machinery. On day …
