Sometimes I Travel, Sometimes I Teach, And Sometimes I Do Both At The Same Time.
Our next big stop on our adventure was Portland, Maine, where we were staying for two nights. We left Boston North Station on the Downeaster at 11:50, arriving in Portland at 2:20. By the time we got ourselves to our Airbnb and settled in, it was time to head out in search of some dinner... Continue Reading →
The following morning, we had enough time for breakfast in the hotel, and then we walked over the St. Alban's train station to catch the Vermonter to New Haven, CT. This time, Ryan and I joined my parents in business class. The seats in business class are definitely more comfortable than coach, with the ability... Continue Reading →
Continuing with our 2022 epic train trip... We headed out early to Union Station in D.C. to board The Vermonter to St. Alban's Vermont. Washington, D.C. is the train's first stop, and St. Alban's is its last stop, so we would be taking it the whole way. We did not know what to expect in... Continue Reading →
Continuing with our 2022 train trip, we pick up with our full day in D.C., where we had departed from The Cardinal the previous evening. We started with a somewhat rainy walk around the neighborhood over to Ted's Bulletin for breakfast. We were pretty impressed with the food, and it was our favorite breakfast of... Continue Reading →
As you may recall if you have followed all of my posts, we intended to do a trip to Hawaii back in 2020 before COVID canceled everything. Originally, the trip was going to be a large-scale version of the annual trips my mom and I take together, but we decided to bring along Ryan and... Continue Reading →
In 2022, my school was honored to be selected as a National ESEA Distinguished School for the work that we do with our multilingual learners. My principal was able to bring a group of teachers with her to attend the ESEA Conference, and I was excited to be one of the teachers selected to attend!... Continue Reading →
You may have seen in an earlier post that my family and I had plans to travel to Hawaii in 2020. For obvious reasons, that trip never happened. In fact, 2020 because the year of canceled trips. A tour I had planned to join in Bolivia got canceled due to political unrest. Then COVID swooped... Continue Reading →
On Wednesday evening after the community block party, Ryan and I sat down with my aunt and uncle to plan our route up to Glacier National Park the following day. This would be a longer drive as it's a 4.5-5 hour drive depending on the route you take. My uncle recommended the slightly longer but... Continue Reading →
Bozeman, MT is just a couple hours' drive from Yellowstone National Park. We headed out from our "home base" of my aunt and uncle's condo early in the morning. Spending the night at one Yellowstone's historic cabins, this would give us about a day and a half to explore the park. Is this enough time... Continue Reading →
A few years ago before COVID was a consistent presence in our lives (in fact, before we had even heard of COVID) Ryan and I (The Two Tones) headed out west on an adventure. Our plan was to visit my uncle and aunt and also spend some time in both Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.... Continue Reading →
