Two weeks ago we went on a week long family vacation down to the Jersey Shore. We go down to North Wildwood several times every year. It’s our favorite beach to visit and we’re hoping to retire there in 2 years for full-time living. It’s …
In April we took a 4 day road trip from Hershey Pennsylvania up to Dunkirk New York to see the full Solar Eclipse on the banks of Lake Erie. The car ride took approximately 6 hours to make. Since we were attending the Solar Eclipse festival we spent 2 nights in Dunkirk. It’s a small city in western New York that sits along Lake Erie. An old city that is rich in history.
One afternoon we went up to tour the Dunkirk Lighthouse. There’s free on-site parking, restrooms and you can walk the grounds for FREE. It’s a family-friendly attraction. We spent about 90 minutes or so while there walking the grounds and checking out all of the displays they had on the property. Of course…the main attraction is the Dunkirk Lighthouse.
If you want to check out the lighthouses along Lake Erie this is one you’ll want to see. It’s not done in the tall connical tower style that you see along the seaboard…it’s smaller in stature and is attached to the light keepers house. You can see it in my photographs. Beautiful and one of the nicest that we’ve seen along Lake Erie.

We took a weekend getaway down to Atlantic City in New Jersey. It’s a nice little getaway for those who live in the Mid-Atlantic states. It takes us about 4 hours to get there by car. We like to visit Atlantic City once a year during the off-season before all of the summer tourists arrives. Typically we’ll go in October or November or in April or May. Beautiful times of the year to visit.
Anyway, We were strolling up and down the boardwalk one day and stumbled upon these cool 9-11 Tribute Memorial Statues. They’re on the boardwalk and hard to miss, so I’m not sure why we didn’t see them before. A lot of people think that it was mostly New Yorkers that died that fateful day. Truth be told…there were people from outside of New York that died too…many were residents of New Jersey.
When we travel we seek out 9-11 memorials. A lot of small towns and big cities across the United States have their own memorials to remember those who lost their lives on September 11th. It’s a really nice memorial, so if you’re going to be in Atlantic City stop by to see it.
Taking a vacation without the kids might sound like a paradox to dedicated parents. Yet, such breaks can be vital not only for personal relaxation but also for strengthening relationships away from daily family routines. In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for oneself or as …
