We made it down to Alabama to check out the rocket center, which we were especially excited about after visiting the space center in Cape Canaveral. It was really cool, can't go wrong with giant rockets!

A Fall camping and hiking trip to New Hampshire was as lovely as it usually is that time of year. And we couldn't resist taking a couple days to visit Maine for lobster and lighthouses.

We wrapped up Summer 2020 with a couple classic California camping destinations: Lake Tahoe and Lassen National Park. Lake Tahoe felt like Spring Break in Mexico - it was obnoxiously crowded. But Lassen was a lovely escape.
