A Long and Winding Road

A Long and Winding Road

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Rachel • Leave a comment

This morning I drove one of my friends to her internship at the Columbus zoo. Ohio is full of long, windy roads and the trip to the zoo was no exception. Sometimes it’s just nice to drive. Relax. Hit the open road. Okay, so the Columbus Zoo isn’t quite far enough from me to use … Continue reading →

A Mushroom House in the Woods: A New York Fairytale

Posted on September 7, 2012 by Rachel • 3 Comments

The final stop on our fabulous road trip was “The Mushroom House.” Where I said “stopped” I probably should have said that my Dad and I “trespassed.” This is private property, as in some-lucky-shmuck lives here. A little tricky to find, this house is up a narrow dirt road off the side of a park. … Continue reading →

Victorian Houses aren’t usually built on factories?

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Rachel • 2 Comments

    One of the quickest stops (and posts) on our road trip, we HAD to stop at the Victorian House on top of a factory, if only because it was so close to the mind-numbingly mind-blowing “Green on Top” traffic light. I couldn’t find out too much of the history for this stop (which … Continue reading →

Is that even legal?: America’s Only Upside Down Traffic Light

This was BY FAR the most exciting of the stops my dad and I made on our fabulous two day road trip from Boston to central Ohio. And that means a lot when you take a look at all the odd, quirky, beautiful, unique things we saw. I read about this stop on Roadside America. … Continue reading →

Fairy Tale Cottage in Western Mass

Posted on September 3, 2012 by Rachel • 2 Comments

A rather quick stop, this fairy-tale house is beautiful…even if just seen from the outside. Affectionately called the Tyringham Gingerbread House, it comes straight out of the fairy tales you read as a kid to sit peacefully amidst the rolling hills of western Massachusetts. This was stop 3 on our fabulous road trip back to central … Continue reading →

Road Trip Week Continues: Meeting the Lorax!

Posted on September 2, 2012 by Rachel • 2 Comments

    Stop number 2 on our Road Trip from Boston to Central Ohio was the quad at the Springfield Museums. While the museums do cost money, you can get into the quad between them for free. My Dad and I parked on the street and walked a few circles, before stumbling into the quad. … Continue reading →

On The Road Again: Stop #1 on The Penniless Traveler’s Fabulous Road Trip

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Rachel • 2 Comments

  While driving back out to Ohio for my junior year of school, my dad and I stopped at various roadside attractions between Boston and Columbus. This stop was the kick-off to our adventure and it also marks the beginning of “Road Trip Week” on The Penniless Traveler! Before our trip, I visited one of … Continue reading →

1. A Chihuly Take On Collecting Things on Rosemary’s Blog This is my favorite post of the week. A really unique sight. Anything that mixes art, travel, and my hoarder-like obsession with collections is good in my book. And she’s got the pictures to back it up. 2. About Two Blocks Away There Be Monsters on … Continue reading →
