Another Black Friday – another year I chose to Opt Outside. It has become a tradition to take my nephew and now that I have ANOTHER nephew I figured he could join the fun! I wanted something fairly easy as I was going to be carrying my youngest nephew on my back in one of those packs plus walking JoJo who is always frisky this time of year due to the cold weather. I also wanted to go somewhere I had never seen before. I had read about the White Cliffs of Conoy awhile ago, but never got a chance to check them out so I decided that would be our destination! My dad, both nephews, JoJo and I headed out to the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail and parked at the trailhead in Bainbridge, PA.

Thanksgiving Turkey Run
Early Thanksgiving morning I remembered that there is usually a 5k turkey run. I went online to see if I could register the day of the event and I could. I decided since it is usually packed that I would cycle to it because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a parking spot (plus it was pretty close and would give me an excuse to ride my bike!) I stuffed a canned good in my top tube bag to donate (just barely fit!) and headed down to the start of the race.
September 2017 High Point Road Trip
For some reason my Dad and I thought we could drive from central PA and snag the Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota state high points as well as sight see along the way and POSSIBLY get Missouri … in like 4 days … yeah – this is not possible. As we were driving early in the trip and realized that Minnesota was way farther away than we thought, we had to make a decision – skip it and do more sight seeing, or skip all the sight seeing and rush to get to Minnesota and head back home.
Assateague Island – September 2017
If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know I love to go to Assateague Island when I can. JoJo and I headed down after work because I snagged a campsite at the National Seashore.
Bushkill Falls
For my birthday, I asked my parents and nephew if they wanted to go with me to check out Bushkill Falls which is considered the Niagara of Pennsylvania. This was a bit of a drive so I knew it would be a long day, but it was worth it!
2 5Ks in 12 hours
This past weekend there were 2 5Ks that I really wanted to do – so I signed up for both! Luckily one was in the morning in Lititz, PA and the other was in the evening in Philly.
