About Us
What do you do after your 4 kids graduate college and you’ve survived the pandemic?
We’re Abby and Michael, traveling the U.S. with our pandemic puppy Frankie!
We’ve lived in Newtown, Pennsylvania since 1998 and are very fortunate to have 4 amazing and successful adult children.
They’ve begun their careers and have spread out across the country (Denver, Atlanta, Stamford Connecticut, and State College/Newtown.
A fun fact is that all 4 graduated from Penn State University.
So we started thinking about our future travel plans and then COVID happened.
2020 sucked for so many reasons, but there were also some really good things too.
Everything ground to a halt, but it was nice to have all 4 kids back home together for the first time in years.
When our 14-year-old dog Gelati passed, that was hard and we thought we were done with pets. RIP “G”
But, before you knew it, the pandemic puppy pressure started…and come on, who could resist these blue eyes?
Meet Frankie!
2020 was also good for a few things too. We spent more time together as a family and our triplets graduated from Penn State and are all working on their careers.
Fast forward to July 2021 and it’s time for Abby & me.
We knew we would eventually “downsize” from our home, but when the housing market went crazy, we decided to act now.
So, What Are We Doing?
We’re selling…not just the house but just about everything we own and starting fresh.
Furniture…gone! House…gone! Old cars…gone!
If it doesn’t fit, it’s gone.
We put our house on the market, we had 38 showings in 2 days and accepted a great offer that requires us to move quickly.
Where Are We Going?
We have no idea…just kidding, sort of.
Instead of buying a smaller place right away, we decided that we would see the U.S.
That’s why we started Abby, Michael and Frankie Adventures.
