The United States of America

The USA- our home country, with so many different places to explore.

We have lived in Boston, New York, and Connecticut, and enjoy showing our girls some of what the United States has to offer. We’ve visited more National Parks than we can count, as well as more offbeat attractions from a bison farm to a crystal mine!

You’ll find our tips on visiting some of our favorite attractions, from the Oregon coast to Washington D.C., and a lot of places in between.

If you are looking for stops on your next American road trip, make sure to check out our special section dedicated to Road Trips or our content organized by National Park.
