About Me

I am traveling with my grown children, Alison and Eddie. We now live in Jefferson County West Virginia, after many years in Vermont. We love daytrips in the car, history, and presidential stuff, so this trip was designed with our family in mind. We have already seen most of these places at least once, but we are doing it as a tour this time--seeing new sights, and learning more about our area.
