party in the usa: home sweet home
happy friday! finally, the weekend is here…and you’ve also made it to the last road trip recap. 🙂
it was a fun week…here’s what our final itinerary looked like:
- day one: LA to SF
- day two: SF to RENO
- day three: RENO to SLC
- day four: SLC to DENVER
- day five: DENVER to LINCOLN
- day six: LINCOLN to CHICAGO
- day seven: CHICAGO to TORONTO
- day eight: TORONTO to ROCHESTER
- day nine: ARRIVE HOME!
after exploring toronto, and eating lunch at nirvana, i checked out more of kensington market before my parking expired. i’m so glad that i parked the car for the day and explored toronto on foot. i got a better feel of the different neighborhoods and got to see things i’d normally miss had i been zooming by in a car. i didn’t even mind getting lost because there was always something fun to see around every corner. 🙂
although i was SO not ready to leave canada, i had another long evening of driving ahead :(. there was just one more stop i had to make before i left though…
a chocolate stop! canadian chocolate to be exact 🙂
kinder surprise chocolate eggs
and a pack of nestle candies that i enjoyed during the rest of the drive.
yum 🙂 i’m still sad that i didn’t get to try pickle flavored potato chips!
after the very necessary candy stop, i drove straight to the new york border. it was already late but i wanted to stop in the canadian side of niagara falls since i’ve only seen the american side before. unfortunately, the parking was sooo expensive- especially considering it’s free on the other side of the border 😛 oh well…hopefully, i can make a weekend trip out there next year because i’ve always wanted to see the canadian falls.
to be fair, the american falls aren’t so bad either:

after i crossed over into the US, i drove as far as i could before exhaustion set in. i tried to “rough it” and sleep at a rest stop but that didn’t work out, so a rochester motel it was!
the next day began our final leg of the road trip: 6 hours from rochester, ny to boston, mass.
i was eager to get home! the only stops were starbucks (necessary!) and a rest stop lunch.
it felt nice to sleep in my own bed again! though i’ve been home for a few weeks…i still miss being on vacation! before leaving for the road trip, i spent a week in california. i have so many yummy meals to share from that week…but i’m eager to get back to “regular” f-logging…so i think i will do some recaps this weekend and then start blogging my daily meals starting from monday and mix in some cali posts in between.
Vacations are so much fun but falling down in your own comfy bed is so nice. You road trip adventures were so fun to read about. I need to do a long road trip soon.
Wait… you don’t have pickle flavoured chips?? I’ll send you some, if you want! I’ll even send you BAKED chips!!
OMG!! The Kinder Schokoladen!! I miss those so much. Germany really does have the best chocolate.
