Being from New Orleans, we don’t get many chances to see the changing of the season and fall foliage. So in the Fall of 2021, we flew out to Massachusetts and made a trip through the Northeast. We began our trip in Salem, Mass., then drove to and through Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York, ending our trip at Niagara Falls.
In August ’21, our family traveled to San Francisco for a few days of touring before heading south. From San Francisco, we drove down Hwy 1 to Monterrey, Carmel by the Sea, and Big Sur. From there, we travelled inland to Fresno to visit some family then on to Yosemite for three days in the Park.
It was the depths of Covid. We had an Alaskan cruise planned that was cancelled due to the pandemic. So, we looked a little further down our bucket list and decided a Colorado road trip was a wonderful second option. We quickly switched gears and booked our flights. Our two ‘little ones’ were in high school and college at the time and Reedi and I knew then that there were only so many ‘family’ vacations ahead of us.
