Blogs are so 2003 – Christian Gypsies

I’m thinking we have too many places to manage online information about our journey. Check out our Instagram feed to stay up to date with our journey instead of this blog.

We made our first @harvesthosts stop @dellavalefar

We made our first @harvesthosts stop @dellavalefarm on the way to the Hudson Valley after leaving the Buffalo area… what an amazing stop with such wonderful people! They welcomed us with smiles & border collies, let us get the last carriage ride of the day at the pumpkin patch when we arrived at the end of their first day of the patch and let us watch & help with milking the cows that night. The next morning, we enjoyed picking pumpkins on their second day of the inaugural pick your own pumpkin patch. We weren’t shy to grab a handful of wonderful @cabotcheese products, too. If you’re in the area or passing through, check these guys out and spend some time getting to know them!

Old Fort Niagara is one place you definitely need

Old Fort Niagara is one place you definitely need to visit if you’re ever in the Buffalo area. We’ve tried to visit places on weekdays that Tony would be okay missing but this is one that we probably should have tried to visit with him. It was one of the favorites among all three of us.

A fort built by the French, lost to the British in the French and Indian Wars who lost it to the Americans in the American Revolutionary War. The British later took it back in the War of 1812 but returned to America peacefully after the war. 🤪 Did you follow that? At least I didn’t include dates 😂.

The kids and I (Tamara) have had some fun adventur

The kids and I (Tamara) have had some fun adventures in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, since we ventured out during the week day, Tony had to stay home and work. We knew that going into this life style though.

We’re leaving at the end of the week to head to the Hudson Valley and I’m leaving feeling like there so much more we need to see or do. I think I’m going to probably always feel that way. The US has such a rich history and geography, I doubt we’ll ever leave a place feeling like we saw it all. 🤪

I’ve only included the highlight photos on some of the places we visited but here is the summary:

-Underground Railroad History Center
-Naval and Military Park (one of Remy’s favorite)
-Theodore Roosevelt’s Inaugural Site
-Old Fort Niagara (separate post)

PS…I love upstate NY 🥰
