McDonald’s McMansion in Freeport Maine, Searching For Gnome Mountain, Souvenir Shopping At The Maine State Prison Showroom & More- The Rehash!
This was meant to be posted earlier in the week… 🙂
Over Labor Day Weekend, we took a short trip to upstate NY. I’ve already published a couple of posts about it.

Searching For Gnome Mountain In High Falls, NY
Over the holiday weekend, Kim and I decided to take a short trip to upstate NY. We figured it would be nice to get away one last time before the school year begins.
Our first destination was lunch at a new pizza shop which recently opened. On the way, Kim did a search to see if there was anything else worth checking out in the area.
While doing her search, Kim asked me if I had heard of Gnome Mountain. Continue reading Searching For Gnome Mountain In High Falls, NY
A Visit To The Maine State Prison Showroom
Over the summer, the Michael W Travels wasn’t traveling internationally due to COVID-19. Instead, we took a handful of road trips not too far from home.
Our most recent and longest trip was an 11-day trip primarily to Maine. While there, we ate a lot of lobster rolls and visited quite a few lighthouses.
While researching things to do, I came across a very special souvenir shop that I had to visit, the Maine State Prison Show Room! Continue reading A Visit To The Maine State Prison Showroom
