    A little Virginia history in Richmond! —-The Virgi A little Virginia history in Richmond! —-The Virginia State Capitol was designed by Thomas Jefferson and inspired by an ancient Roman temple in France. —It contains the only statue Washington ever posed for. —Opening in 1788, it’s the second-oldest working state capitol in the country. —Eight U.S. presidents were born in Virginia, including 4 of the first 5 (Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe). All are honored in their rotunda. Another state, another Capitol checked off our list! #historynerd #usa #virginia
    Some places make history feel real. Appomattox, Vi Some places make history feel real. Appomattox, Virginia, is one of them. We explored Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, where on April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively bringing the Civil War to a close. A few fascinating facts: —The surrender didn’t happen in the courthouse, but in a private home known as the McLean House. —There was no formal peace treaty. The surrender terms were exchanged through two short letters. —A little kindness went a long way. Grant allowed Confederate soldiers to return home, with many even keeping their horses and mules for spring planting. It’s crazy to reflect on how one meeting helped change the course of American history. Another stop, another story worth discovering. #appomatox #civilwar #historylover
    Spent the first few days of November in West Virgi Spent the first few days of November in West Virginia. It was a state we hadn’t spent much time in the last time we were on the east coast and really enjoyed its rolling hills. We checked out the: —West Virginia capitol in Charleston —West Virginia State Museum —Coopers Rock State Forest —Fall colors and Enjoyed Maple Donuts —Kanawha Falls —New River Gorge National Park which was high on our list —Glade Creek Grist Mill at Babcock State Park and —Sandstone Falls They have 3 slogans: “Almost Heaven”, “The Mountain State” and “Wild Wonderful” and they’re all very fitting. If you enjoy pretty trees and twisty back roads you’ll like it too! #westvirginia #almostheaven #fall2026
    Some buildings have stories that are bigger than t Some buildings have stories that are bigger than their architecture. The Maryland State House in Annapolis is definitely one of them. Built between 1772 and 1779, this beautiful building has witnessed some pretty extraordinary moments in American history. —It’s the oldest state capitol in the country still in continuous legislative use. —From 1783–1784, it actually served as the U.S. Capitol, making it the only state house ever to serve as our nation’s capital. —This is where George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1783—a remarkable moment when he voluntarily gave up military power. —Just weeks later, Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris here, officially ending the Revolutionary War. —Its dome is the oldest and largest wooden dome of its kind in the United State. Don’t forget to check out Annapolis as well. Old town, if you can find parking, is fun to stroll! Another reminder that sometimes the best part of exploring a new place isn’t just seeing what’s there. It’s discovering what happened there. #discovertheusa #historylover #annapolis
    It’s true that you learn something new everyday an It’s true that you learn something new everyday and that’s the joy of life! We love history and even though you may know a lot about someone or an era, there’s always more to learn. All of the Presidential Libraries we’ve visited have been great and the FDR Library is no exception so we thought we’d share some surprising things we learned while there. Side note- I had no idea Eleanor was such a mover and shaker in her day. I definitely want to read more about her. Drop any book suggestions in the comments. Now get out there and keep learning! #alwayslearning #travel #historylovers
    What could go wrong at a visit to an old insane as What could go wrong at a visit to an old insane asylum? On the road full time, holidays hit a little different and rather than buy costumes that would need to be donated tomorrow and with no one trick or treating at the RV door, we toured the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia today. It’s a place you can stay overnight (no thank you) and bring equipment to measure paranormal activity (also no thank you). Whether you like to be scared or you don’t this is a fascinating tour and honestly it touches on the very serious subject of mental health. We still have a long way to go in helping those with mental health issues but when you look at the fact that lobotomies, horrible electro shock treatments and shackles were being used less than 100 years ago you realize we’ve come a long way. Not to mention that back in the day men could have their wives committed for very little reason at all (usually because divorce wasn’t available) and these woman had no choice but to stay there. They could only be released to the person who committed them in the first place!!! Bizarre! Happy Halloween ya’ll! #
    Doug toured the Vanderbilt mansion in Hyde Park, N Doug toured the Vanderbilt mansion in Hyde Park, NY. I caught up on sleep. This was an interesting counterpoint to the Ashland Biltmore estate which is the largest of the 43 Vanderbilt mansions. This one was the smallest but still very impressive. #richpeopleshouses #vanderbilt #mansion
    Careful what you wish for cuz you just might get i Careful what you wish for cuz you just might get it, you just might get it. Actually we’ve been loving the state Capitol Buildings. Tours are free, we learn a lot about the history of the state and the architecture and artwork can be really interesting. Checked off 3 states here on the east coast that we didn’t see the last time we were back east in 2022. #newyork #rhodeisland #connecticut #ipulledoverforthis

    We wandered the Dartmouth campus, took in the art We wandered the Dartmouth campus, took in the art at the museum, and ended our day walking around the state Capitol. We enjoyed the kind of day that reminds you how much there is to discover when you take the time to look. Travel doesn’t always have to mean epic adventures or breathtaking scenery. Sometimes, it’s about exploring a place you’ve never been, learning something new, and letting curiosity lead the way. #newhampshire #intentionalliving #dartmouth #statecapitol
    Doug made the hike to the top of Sugarloaf and WOW Doug made the hike to the top of Sugarloaf and WOW, those views! We had done a walk earlier in the afternoon and had to hide under trees when both rain and then hail fell. But as Doug always says, “life’s an adventure!” And this day in New Hampshire was definitely that. #newhampshire #fallvibes #sugarloaf
    The covered bridges and quaint small towns along t The covered bridges and quaint small towns along this little stretch between Bethelem NH and Hanover NH feel like they’re right out of a Hallmark Movie. So grab your cocoa, a cute pom-pom hat and get out there to explore the border between New Hampshire and Vermont! #newhampshire #vermont #coveredbridge #hallmarktown
    Like most things in life, ya gotta enjoy the journ Like most things in life, ya gotta enjoy the journey not just the destination! Mount Washington is the tallest peak in the Northeast United States (6,288 feet) and is often called the “world’s deadliest small mountain” due to its extreme, unpredictable weather and over 160 recorded fatalities since 1849. This is more than Everest! Why? Extreme Weather and Sudden Shifts. Despite its modest height of 6,288 feet, winds have been recorded as high as 231 mph, and sub-zero or freezing temperatures can strike even in the summer. Clear conditions at the base can turn into whiteout snow, violent gales, and hypothermia-inducing storms near the summit in minutes. Part of the Appalachian Trail goes through this area but there’s an easier way to see it. Book a ticket on the world’s first mountain-climbing cog railway built in 1869. It’s a slow ride but you do climb an average grade of 25% with sections over 34%. Bring winter clothes any time of year. Brrrr.#mountwashington #cograilway #newhampshire #itstheclimb
    How cool is it that the yellow and orange pigments How cool is it that the yellow and orange pigments in leaves are present all spring and summer long, but they are completely hidden by the dominant green pigment, chlorophyll? And those red and purple colors even more interesting. As the days grow shorter and nights cool down, the veins closing off the leaf trap leftover sugars inside it. When these trapped sugars are exposed to bright sunlight, they undergo a chemical reaction that generates the brilliant red and purple hues. Nature is wild and we get to witness this every year? Yup, every one! So awesome! #leafpeeping #fallxolors #natureisamazing❤️

    I have so many that take me back but I feel like o I have so many that take me back but I feel like our generation can’t help but sing along with this one. I have a wide range. I love the Beatles, Cheap Trick, Goo Goo Dolls, Keith Urban, Michael Franti, Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, REM, Tim McGraw, etc. I could literally go on and on. Can you even pick a favorite song and if so what is it? #happythursday #simplejoys #musiclover

    A visit to Augusta, Maine’s state capitol, and a n A visit to Augusta, Maine’s state capitol, and a nice walk around this town. Right on the river with a cute downtown we felt like this was one of those towns with great potential. Seemed a little quiet and the state house wasn’t even close to the prettiest or most interesting we e seen, but we did like that their governor’s office had a huge welcome sign for Canadian friends and all the people we ran into were incredibly friendly. An almost perfect fall day! #agustamaine #statecapitol #falldays🍁
