Touring NYC by boat – The Big Apple pt. 2
After walking much of Manhattan with our friends, we took a tour by boat that had been recommended to us.  We think this is a great way to see Manhattan from a different perspective – after all, it does have the world’s most famous skyline.  We chose to take the Full Island Cruise offered by Circle…

New friends and spectacular sunsets – Lake Erie, NY
After having too much fun in Warren, Ohio with our best buds, we headed up the road to Lake Erie for some “chill out” time. Â We stayed at the Lake Erie State Park in New York, and as soon as we settled in there was the realization that we did not like this place much.…
