One of the ways Shae and I are able to afford our 5 year, 50 state road trip is by finding free things to do along the way. We've visited Richmond, Virginia a couple of times in the past, but only for a day or two and so hadn't had much of a chance to explore the city. We were … [Read more...] about 15 Free Things To Do In Richmond, Virginia

Having Elephant Mud Fun At The Bali Zoo

Goat Yoga in Middletown, RI – It Really Was The G.O.A.T.
Last year I felt adventurous and tried aerial yoga. It was challenging but fun and I'd try it again in the future. This year I tried another new form of yoga - goat yoga.

3.5 Weeks In Connecticut – Here’s What We Did

We had Truffles with us and so were only able to walk … [Read more...] about Visiting Gillette Castle State Park In Connecticut
Going Tubing On The Farmington River In Connecticut
