Beautiful fall colors, long drives & gelato!!

                               Greetings from back home in beautiful Colorado!!!


 I know, I know... I am kinda delayed in getting the last of these pictures up, but better late then never eh'? ;)


  And I have some freakin' sweet pictures, so just wanted to share em' with you and really really make you envious of my trip!! 


    The last 2 days we're awesome and spent totally in Maine!!  The B & B was great, the fall colors in town were awesome, having Virginia around to giggle and laugh with was amazing ( I love you!) and yeah, so many more.. We had some yummy breakfast's and dinner's at the Inn, and I totally fell in love with Maine!! I am sooooo going back someday!!  


  On Sunday, I got a crave to see Acadia Nat'l Park which was 150ish miles one way, so I did!!  And wow, what fun it was!!  I loved the scenic drive along the way...found some fun christmas gifts and souvenir too.  And then I had a few hours in the park. It is a HUGE and gorgeous park!! I just saw a bit of it and totally loved it!! The views alone are SOO worth the trip!!    So yeah, it was all a blast and had about 8ish hrs in the car that day, but it was so worth it! :)  After getting back into Brunswick that night, Virginia went out for gelato and this really cool place in the downtown area, and yeah, we enjoyed being giggly girls and pretending our trip wasn't ending...  


   It was all grand times!!   I feel like I just got a taste of the East coast and this traveling girl is gonna keep exploring new territory every chance she gets! 


 Well, I am signing off for now, cause' this crazy nut has another goal to hit out of the park and has work to attend to. 


  Be blessed one and all and am so thankful for each and every one of you!!  


      Many luvs and hugs, Miranda   ~  A rockstar for Jesus!

Covered Bridges, beautiful drives and some prayer time w/ her Mommy!



Greetings from Brunswick!! 

Good morning!  I just wanted to update on our day yesterday, the last day Mom and I had together!  We had a great day together, which included 3 covered bridges, seeing NH and VT, stopping at a yummy coffee shop, beautiful colors of fall along our drive to name just a few!!

  I got Mommy dropped off safely at the airport at 6pm and then headed toward Brunswick to check into the Inn that Virginia's Dad owns. Virginia got picked up early this morning from Portland's Airport, so now her and I have 2 days here in Maine together! The Inn is where her and I will be staying until Monday morning, and of which, is a sweet place and we had an amazing yummy breakfast this morning!!

 Now her and I are gonna head out and do some exploring... may the fun continue!!

 OH!! And I am a 100% on my personal goal for Sam Camp!!!  WOOHOO baby!! 

 This girl has seen ALL 48 lower continental states before I turn 25!!  ( made it by 3 months!!) 

With love from Determined and Focused Miranda!

~ Traveling through the New England States! ~


Greetings from Lenox, Massachusetts! 

 Mom and I had a great day of traveling through several states and going several hundred miles!  We saw some pretty cool sights along the way including a couple covered bridges, some beautiful fall colors, a waterfall, driving thru some quaint villages, stopped for a yummy Pumpkin Latte at a cool coffee shop in DE ( the name of it is 'Coffee' spelled backwards...Cool eh'?!) to name just a few of our adventures of today!

Tomorrow is see Vermont and New Hampshire and drive to Portland, ME to drop Mom off at the airport in the early evening. 

When I get into Vermont, I will be 100% on my personal goal for Sam Camp - woohoo! 

Deserving and Vulnerable Miranda! 











~ Philly!!!!!!!! ~

Greetings from Wilmington, DE!!

Here is an update for yesterday ~  after leaving the hotel in East Windsor, NJ we then headed into Philly and to the historic downtown district!! 

WOW, Philly was amazing!!  I LOVED it!!!  There was so much to see and do there, and all Mom and I had was a few hours, so we spent our time going through Independence Hall, seeing the Liberty Bell, Carpenters Hall, Christ Church, Betsy Ross house (from the outside) and then went and ate at the City Tavern for dinner, which is an amazing and historic ole' tavern downtown, ran just like an old tavern in the 1770's was manned. And goodness, the food was awesome! I had a Lobster Pie, which was out of this world good! :)

The plan today is see a bit of Wilmington and get some coffee (woohoo!) and then head down the road  and get as close to the Vermont border and then see VT and NH tomorrow, of which is my last day with Mommy. *sniffles* 

May the adventures continue! 

 Luvs and hugs from down east!

~ BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING scenery!!! ~




Greetings from East Windsor, NJ!! 

Hey, here is a quick update on Mom's and my day yesterday. We started by leaving Newport, RI and heading SW toward NYC and such and took a lot of the country roads and highways along the way.  Such beautiful drives and great views!

 Some of the highlights was the turning colors, a mocha in New Haven, CT,Seeing a lighthouse, driving a caddy in KM instead of miles ( long story, lol. Let's just say I can be very 'blond' sometimes!) stopping at a couple roadside farmers markets and many more. 

 It was great times and am looking forward to today, which the plan is to head to Philly and see the Liberty bell and then head to Wilmington, DE! 

  Lots of love, Miranda :D   ( and Mommy too)
