All Things Joey
To travel is to learn. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles – this category focuses on all of the trips I have taken and had the good fortune to document.
This month’s Bokksu is “Kansai Autumn” themed. Ben and Allison ripped through the snacks and offered their opinions. It was another matcha heavy box which yielded mixed results.
Note: Kansai is a region in the south of Honshu, Japan’s main island. In its center is the city of Kyoto, Japan’s capital from 794 to 1869.
We spent a long weekend in Wilton, CT and we managed to rent a really nice house.
People always ask for the house tours, so here is a tour complete with drone footage (I really went all out with this one).
I took my son on a long weekend to SeaQuest in Trumbull, CT to have a live sloth experience.
Ben was able to pet and feed Flash the two-toed sloth and watch another one…sleep (lol).
SeaQuest had other fish and animals available for interactions and it was a good time.
We have been subscribing to snack box service Bokksu for a few years and my son recently started taking Japanese lessons so I thought it would be a fun idea for him to do a review video.
The September box had a Mid Autumn festival theme and featured more chocolate and mochi based treats than usual (much to Ben’s chagrin).
People gave me a hard time last year for not doing a proper tour of the rental house we stayed at. Since we stayed at the same place this year, I made it a priority to do a walk-through.
We scheduled TWO boating trips during our stay at Lake George this year (book at least a month in advance).
It was fortunate that we did schedule two trips because the first tour had terrible weather. This trip was much better and it gave us a chance to do some cliff jumping.
Captain Joe did a great job and I highly recommend Lake George Island Boat Tours (518-469-8745).
Note: All filming was captured on a GoPro 7
