Our 62’ long and 6.5’ wide narrowboat is named Irene. Irene has 3 dedicated areas for sleeping, 1.5 baths, and a forward galley and sitting/eating area. The path through the boat causes us to wriggle passed each other every time we need to change rooms, it is only 18 inches wide! Irene has a single […]

On our great cruise across the Atlantic we had dinner in the Britannia restaurant almost every night. The restaurant was different than others we had been to, which was to be expected because we were on a cruise. It was also quite a bit fancier than anything Jack and I had attended before. The first
For the past week the family has been on a transatlantic travel from New York to Southampton in the UK as the first part of our four month European trip. We sailed on the Queen Mary 2 for a week before arriving on the 25th of August. I really enjoyed the voyage, and so far
Oh my! We planned a few days in the cruise port of Southampton to get our footing and see Stonehenge but it offered SO much more. This area hardly makes it in the guidebooks. We had a fantastic guided city walk around the ancient walled city with history back to about year zero. Walked on,

Today we attended the 156th family reunion/picnic of the Bull family. William Bull and Sarah Wells met and married in what is now Orange County, NY and built their homestead there. The Bull Stone House still stands and is owned by the family association. In fact the house has only been lived in by Bulls

Our Connecticut adventures brought us to the Pez factory! We were lucky enough to visit during a weekday while the factory was in production. They are currently working on orders for Christmas and we watched them box up 12 packs. The factory has a fun bingo game to play while looking at all the dispensers.
This past weekend Mom, Dad, Busia, Aleah and I all piled into the car to visit Confluence, PA. Once we arrived I found out that the Airbnb we were staying at didn’t have any internet! I didn’t have long to dwell upon this horrific realization because almost as soon as I put my bags down
