Here is a quick video of one of our favorite places to camp, Robert H. Treman State Park in Ithaca NY. The kids love it because you can jump off the diving board and swim right to the waterfall. If you get the chance to stay here make sure you visit the neighboring Taughannock Falls that has a wonderfully accessible hike to a beautiful waterfall.

We stayed at this Sonder location in Midtown Atlanta over the summer and truly enjoyed our stay. This is a unique concept for a stay with long or short term stays available. Everything we needed was included, it was convenient and safe. We were moments away from Georgia Aquarium (highly recommend) Emory, SCAD, Georgia Tech, etc. The space was very clean with common areas outside and inside. If you have any questions leave a comment. We highly recommend this location. (Ending and cover image from Sonder's website)

We've been testing this portable power station and will happily be adding it to our emergency preparedness supplies.

My husband uses a Cpap and even though we have a generator it can be a pain to run cords to our second floor so this is the perfect alternative. He tried it out the other night and it worked without issue and still had charge left.

I did show the optional solar power charger. I did say you could get them as a bundle but I was not correct because that solar charger is a different brand than the one that comes in a bundle.

This is compact, light-weight and great for emergencies or boondock camping.

Here is an amazon link for the power station: https://amzn.to/400hylr

And, the battery bank I use in the video is pretty decent, here's an amazon link for that: https://amzn.to/4gONBL7

Finally, my emergency radio is pretty neat too, it's also a Bluetooth speaker and shockingly loud: https://amzn.to/3BzhqyV

In our travels, every year, we try to make it to the LUMA festival in Binghamton, NY. We highly recommend this FREE event that happens one weekend every September. The festival includes artists from around the world as well as local artists who do projection mapping on various buildings in the city. It's an amazing even that will is fun for the whole family. Make sure you wear your light up accessories when you attend.

Who needs Graham crackers?! We love to make S'moreos on our camping trips.

Quick video showing our recent trip to Knoebels Amusement Park in PA

We got this bike for our son to ride around town and while we're camping and it's proven to be super useful for Brandon to be able to ride around while filming campgrounds as well.

Once we've had the bike longer we'll be able to post a full review but for now we wanted to post this assembly video in case anyone was having issues on how to put their bike together.

While we were camping at Knoebels Amusement Park in Pennsylvania recently Brandon rode around on the E BIke so that you can see the whole campground. This place is huge with a lot of sites and sites with platforms for tents as well. It's a bit out-dated with no full-hookup sites but nicely wooded and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We had a pull-through site but leveling was a little interesting for us despite having done this for many years, recommend bringing extra leveling equipment just in case.

Our steps to our living area door ended up being well over a foot from the ground to the first step and we asked one of the employees there if they had a piece of wood laying around to make it safer and easier on us and they actually made us a step by gluing a piece of wood to a cinderblock! Talk about going above and beyond.

If you're in need of firewood we recommend buying it by the bucket there, great deal!

They have a number you can call for 24 hour security. They also provide you with garbage bags and come around and pick up your trash at your site.

If you've never been to Knoebels it is a free-admission (you pay to ride the rides but not to enter the park) dog friendly amusement park. It's an older style amusement park which I honestly think could use some updates but it is great for younger kids and families.

Come along on an e-bike ride through Normandy Farms in Foxborough, Massachusetts. We love this campground which is really more like a resort and have stayed here a couple years in a row. It's not far from Boston or from Gillette stadium (Patriots) or Fenway Park. Our whole family loves staying here.
