SuperJoy has one weakness…a fear of heights. So, it may seem out of SuperJoy’s character to request a high floor in the Marriott Fallsview Hotel and equally as bizarre for SJ to go up in Canada’s Skylon tower. Yes, it is out of character. I like to stay below floor 9 [...]

After cramming all of our VT teddy bears, alien and not, into Ye Ole Minivan, I threatened my GPS poltergeist and he finally gave up the location of our next tour stop, Cabot Cheese. Awww, man. No way. Backtrack?
I’m all about the circular route at home and I especially don’t like [...]
Today we got back on the tour bus that is known as Ye Ole Minivan and booked it on over to Vermont Teddy Bear. What a CUTE tour!
Now, you don’t know this but I worked for VT Teddy Bear just this year selling bears for them online. I got the job through a [...]

One of the cool things about our hotel room, besides the great view, is that there is a nearby dock where the CAT comes in. What CAT you say? This ‘un. According to the Discovery Channel it’s one of the world’s Top 10 “Super Ships”. I took this shot from my [...]

Ahhhh, nature.
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;

The drive up the coast of Maine is often pretty, but very long. Very, very long. I think there is some sort of time space problem as you drive through there, because 5 hours from Boston to Bar Harbor, Maine took like…10. Well, it seemed to anyway. I found this great [...]
