We left Southern New Hampshire around noon heading to Connecticut to check out a hopefully fun waterslide.

It is almost summer time, meaning a popular time for people to take day trips. I am frequently asked what are my essentials for day tripping. It can be overwhelming knowing what to bring for your day trip. You don’t want to bring too much, but also don’t want have to buy something you already have. Below is my top items for day trips.

This past fall I had a milestone birthday, 40. Many of my friends are already 40 so it had not seemed like a big deal. My friends and family had thrown me a surprise party a week before and I always take my birthday off to pamper myself. Many people did not believe I was turning 40, they thought I was younger thanks to good genes and a good skin care routine. Other’s told me their 40’s have been the best years of their life. Heading up to the big day I was feeling good.

Visiting Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket has been on my to do list for some time. Everything I had read or heard was it was almost impossible to do in one day. With the high prices of staying on the island it always deterred us from visiting. During our recent summer vacation we decided to figure out a way to make this a day trip and I am glad we did.

Located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island is the Rail Explorers a rail bike tour company. There are a few Rail Explorers around the country, this is the closest to us. Riding a rail bike has been on my family and I’s to do list for a while and we finally checked this off our list.

For as long as women have been in the workforce there has been an ongoing debate regarding working moms vs stay at home moms. Then there are the moms that stay home while their kids are little and go back to work when they are school age.
