De Nouveau Sur La Route | Montreal

This fourth of July, we decided it would be a great idea to celebrate our independence by getting out of the good ol' U.S. of A.

This fourth of July, we decided it would be a great idea to celebrate our independence by getting out of the good ol' US of A. Road trip snacks, spotify playlists, and vague ideas for points-of-interest in tow, we made the trip up to Montreal.

Kudos to Canada for having a much better fireworks show than I've ever seen in America, however unrelated to Independance Day it may've been.

Family Vacation, Pt. 1 | Montreal

Being the child of two adventurers, it took almost no convincing to get them on an impromptu road trip to Montreal.

I was so lucky and got to spend the last couple of weeks hanging out with my parents. Being the child of adventurers has its serious benefits. While they were in Boston, we decided to take an impromptu road trip up to Montreal.

Bonus points to anyone that noticed the map my dad is holding in the third picture is upside down.

Up next, New Orleans.

Midwestern Road Trip

Road tripping with my parents through four states and two countries.

This August, I went on a road trip with my parents. I haven't seen much of them since I moved to Boston so this adventure was some much needed family bonding time. Here is some cataloguing of our adventures:

TROY, MO

My younger brother has been living in Missouri the past few months and I hadn't seen him in a year, so it was nice to get to spend some time with him and his adorable girlfriend.

CHICAGO, IL

CEDAR SPRINGS, MI

Maternal genealogy in my great aunt and uncle’s house

BOYNE CITY, MI

This little town in northern Michigan is where my mom’s family comes from. We aren’t able to visit often but I’ve always found this lake to be so peaceful.
