Columbus Day Long Weekend

Last few days were rough, after long time we did something on weekend. Mom must be happy to see me doing our day trips and back to exploring!

Saturday Jai had a scout leadership training so we both decided to take Ram out for lunch, our favorite place PlanB. It was really good Time with Ram. Weather to sit out and eat was perfect!

Drives around the town were beautiful!

Sunday we had a planned visit to UMAss for Ram! It was immense pleasure to checkout College where Shri did MBA.

It is a beautiful campus! This is the library which is 24 floor tall!

And the food was mind blowing! We enjoyed it a lot!!

On the way back stopped over this beautiful trail along Connecticut river.

Ended day with fresh plum tart!

Monday was time to finally visit Legoland! We postponed ticket from last year at least 5 times 😃 It was dream come true for Jai even if he was visiting Legoland for third time 🤪 (NewYork one, first time though) He still wants to go more!

It was a beautiful drive back and forth! In the morning it was colorful and on the way back whole moon travelled with us! It was full moon night, it was just mesmerizing!!

We had blast taking each and every ride!

Totally memorable weekend!

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy - a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...

Bermuda Cruising : Day 1 – Sunday: Setting Sail from New York City 🚢🌆

The excitement was real as we wrapped up breakfast and left home around 9:30 AM, all packed and ready for our 7-day adventure to Bermuda. As we drove into the city, the first glimpse of our cruise ship took our breath away—it stood tall and majestic on the Hudson River, a true floating city! Check-in was smooth, and by 2 PM, we were officially on board. The sheer size of the ship amazed all of us—18 floors packed with restaurants, shops, a buzzing casino, lively bars, pools, a full amphitheater, a grand theater, and even water slides and a giant rope course towering on the 18th floor! Watching our parents and in-laws marvel at everything around them was heartwarming. For them, this was like stepping into a whole new world—a luxurious hotel on water. The kids were already eyeing the pools and adventure zones, while we were still soaking in the scale of it all. After a delicious lunch at one of the onboard restaurants, we headed up to the open deck for sail-away views of the iconic N...

Day 6 - Machu Picchu

Day started early morning with the light from transparent roof! It was hard to getup from lovely lavender scented bed, but very much excited since this was the day!! Yes today we were going to visit Machu Picchu, which was in wish list from 8-9 year. It was a dream coming true destination. Took shower and went for breakfast. Breakfast with fresh fruits, juices and freshly baked bread butter gave us energy. Kids loved the resort so much that they did want to live the place. Taxi came on time and again we started towards Ollyantatambu train station. We booked vista dome, we were excited for this ride since this was our first experience for this kind of train. Vista domb had big glass windows and glass roof to enjoy the views. The train started and we started our journey to Aguascalientes along Urubamba river. No need to tell the one and half hour journey was super scenic with good food and lemongrass tea. We reached Aguascalientes station and Maria welcome us, she was out tour guide...
