We discovered the Texas Salt Company on our recent road trip and we will absolutely be having it shipped to Maine for the rest of time! It is hands down the best salt we’ve ever tried! @texassaltco #salt #salty #texassaltco #grilling #grillingseason

The fridge after leaving it in the hands of your 21yo kid while you hit the road for 10 months… #cleaninghouse #refrigeratorcleanout #expired #kids

Here are some of the stats from our 10 month road trip around the US! #roadtrippin #backhome #roadtripstats

We’ve been on the road since last October and just made it back to Maine this afternoon! #roadtrippin #ontheroad #rvlife #travelingcouple #backhome #homesweethome #maine #thewaylifeshouldbe #vacationland

Another great VT day! I can’t believe our epic road trip ends tomorrow. Don’t leave though- we’ll be posting the wrap up stuff from this trip and filling you in on our next adventure already on the books for this fall! #churchstreetmarket #leunigsbistro #floraandfauna #foambrewers #icecreamevans

We had the MOST Vermont day today! We drove through the Green Mountains, stopped @benandjerrys ,@alchemistbeer , @cabotcreamery , and @4quartersbrew , and finished it off with a sunset over Lake Champlain! #roadtrippin

We visited Red Rocks Park for a nice, mellow walk in the woods. #roadtrippin #hiking #hikingadventures #redrockspark #burlington #vermont

After lunch today the Jeep didn’t want to start. Luckily we have a roadside jumper thingy and an external battery to charge the dead roadside jumper thingy… long story short, we needed a new battery! And what do we do when after we finish adulting? We drink beer!

@Treehousebrewco was massive! Definitely one of the bigger breweries we’ve been to. And Chris said their imperial stout was on par with Anchorage Brewing’s Deal with the Devil which is high praise from him! #roadtrippin #craftbeer #craftbeerlover #upstateny #newyork #treehousebrewing

This morning we took a “scenic” train ride. I put it in quotes because the scenery wasn’t all that great- but, at least we met a lovely couple and had great conversation! The train ride itself was something to do but I don’t know if I’d really recommend it. #winsomelosesome #roadtrippin #trainride

Our stay at Rivers Crossing Campground in Savannah, NY was a great experience! They have lots of activities and amenities and the staff and other campers could not have been nicer! If you’re looking for a place in the Finger Lakes Region this is a good one! #fingerlakes #riverscrossingcampground

I swear, he wants to see and do literally everything. All of it. All of the things. #roadtrippin #marriagehumor #marriagebelike #travelbucketlist #travelingcouple #bucketlist #greatloop #tiredaf #ChronicallyTiredTraveler I

We went to Montezuma Winery and scored free samples of their new releases AND tickets for a free tasting at their sister winery just down the road! #toadtrippin #winetasting #wineriesoftiktok #winetimе #wine #fingerlakeswineries #montezumawinery #swedishhillwinery #redwine #whitewine #rose #bubbly

Ludovico Sculpture Trail! #roadtrippin #hiking #sculpture #art #seneca #senecafalls #senecariver #fingerlakesregion #newyork

@twistedrailbrewingcompany is such a unique set up inside an old movie theater and it creates such a fun atmosphere! The beer has pretty good flavor too! Definitely a great stop if you’re in the Geneva, NY area! #craftbeerlover #beersnob #drinklocalcraftbeer #genevalake #fingerlakes #newyork

Checked in early to the new campground and our site is freaking perfect! #riverscrossingcampground #hammocknap #hammock #naptime #roadtrippin #ChronicallyTiredTraveler #SlowTravel #fingerlakes #newyork #NatureTherapy

3 (mostly) easy hikes near Ithaca/Watkins Glen! Buttermilk Falls Gorge was just as beautiful as Watkins Glen Gorge but way less crowded! #WaterfallHikes #ChasingWaterfalls #roadtrippin #exploremore #ChronicallyTiredTraveler #SlowTravel #eaglefalls #buttermilkfalls #ithacafalls #fingerlakes #newyork

Liquid State Brewing in Ithaca, NY was a fun stop! Great atmosphere and good beer! #ChronicallyTiredTraveler #SlowTravel #TravelingCouple #roadtrippin #exploremore #fingerlakes #newyork #craftbeerlover #beersnob #liquidstatebrewing #ithaca #newyork

Wine tasting @lakewoodvineyards was so relaxing! We love wine as much as beer but Traveling Wine Bellies just didn’t have the same ring! 😂🤣😂 #roadtrippin #travelingbeerbellies #winetasting #winelover #lakewoodvineyards #fingerlakesregion #senecalakewinetrail #newyork

Watkins Glen State Park! We hiked the Gorge Trail down and the North Rim Trail back up. The Gorge Trail is definitely the more scenic of the two and was just beautiful! There’s construction on the lower part of the Gorge Trail so we missed some of the falls but still 100% worth going!

Post hike beer! #roadtrippin #exploremore #hikingadventures #travelingbeerbellies #craftbeerlover #beersnob #breweriesnearme #breweriesoftiktok #drinklocal #crafty #upstatebrewing #watkinsglen #newyork

Grist Iron Brewing Co- great atmosphere, good food and beer, beautiful views! #roadtrippin #exploremore #travelingbeerbellies #craftbeerlover #beersnob #breweriesnearme #breweriesoftiktok #drinklocal #crafty

Breaking down camp: 88 done, 4 to go. Setting up camp: 89 done, 3 to go. After nearly 10 months on the road we’ve gotten our system down! But that humidity is rough! #roadtrippin #adventure #travelingbeerbellies #travellbug #exploremore #movingon #camping #breakdowncamp #setupcamp

1 in 10,000 squirrels, or .01%, have a genetic mutation that causes excess melanin, aka black fur. Seeing one is considered good luck and we’ve now seen two on this trip! #roadtrippin #wildlife #nature #squirrelsofinstagram #squirrely #blacksquirrel #geneticmutation #melanism #niagarafalls #canada

@resurgencebrewingco was a great stop! The beer was so good, the service and atmosphere were great the food was decent and we met another couple at the bar who provided excellent conversation! 10/10 would recommend! #craftbeerlover #beersnob #wedoctafts #breweriesaremyfavorite #resurgencebrewing

We took the short yet wet and muddy hike to Eternal Flame Falls and it was very much worth it! The Eternal Flame is a natural gas leak in the middle of some shale that often has a waterfall. We actually got really lucky that it was so rainy because apparently this time of year it’s usually dried up!

Niagara Falls- American side! #roadtrippin #adventure #travelingbeerbellies #travellbug #exploremore #niagarafalls #niagarafallsusa #caveofthewinds #maidofthemist #waterfallsofnewyork #waterfallsfordays #newyork

We stopped @brickyard_pub_and_bbq to recharge after a day exploring the American side of Niagara Falls. Great beer, great BBQ, great service and atmosphere! #roadtrippin #exploremore #craftbeerlover #beersnob #supportlocalbreweries #brickyardbrewingcompany #brickyardbbq #lewistonny #newyork

Tonight’s sunset over Lake Ontario was even more gorgeous than 2 days ago! With the naked eye you could see the skyline of Toronto! Unfortunately, all I’ve got is an iPhone 14 so it’s not visible in the time lapse video but beautiful nonetheless! #sunset #sunset_pics #sunsetvibes #lakeontario

We arrived in Wilson, NY to find a new mascot waiting! I think we’ll name him Wilson after the town. He fits in well with our other critters. Our new spot is on the shores of Lake Ontario and is just right for watching the sun set! #bineshillcampsites #moose #wilson #lakeontario #newyork

We’ve been to 6 Frank Lloyd Wright homes on this trip and @fallingwater was the perfect one to end on. This would be our absolute dream home if it weren’t for the cost/upkeep. FLW was big on becoming one with nature and Fallingwater, IMO, is the closest he ever got. #roadtrippin #frankllyodwright

We pulled up to @unitybrewing and realized, “hey! We’ve been here before!” The atmosphere is bright and upbeat and the beer is pretty decent. However, if you order the “Maine” lobster roll, don’t be fooled!

We crossed into Pennsylvania today. For a few weeks now, we’ve been starting to feel anxious to get home after 9 months on the road but seeing this sign and some familiar places actually brought a bit of sadness I wasn’t expecting at the reality of this journey coming to an end. #roadtrippin

Chris and Chip deployed together back in 2010-11. It was the first and last time they were physically in the same place at the same time (until now) but I felt like I knew him already from all the stories I’ve heard over the years. #roadtrippin #travelingbeerbellies #deploymentfriends #militarylife

We passed through Indianapolis today on our way to Ohio. It was a longer drive day so to break it up I dropped Chris at some car place for a bit while I rested in the jeep before finishing the drive. 😂🤣😂 #roadtrippin #indianapolismotorspeedwaymuseum #carstuff #racecars #indianapolis #indiana

Indiana Dunes National Park! We climbed up and down 490 stairs to West Beach, felt the waters of Lake Michigan on our feet, and meandered through the Great Marsh Trail. #roadtrippin #adventure #travelingbeerbellies #travellbug #saveournationalparks #indianadunesnationalpark #indiana
