Baker’s Cave

"D'Oh! Another Fake Cave” Baker's Cave, East Lyme August 16, 2016 Tuesday in August, no camp/school/activities for the boys. What to do, what to do...

Choo! Ch-hole The Hole-in-the-Wall Beach Bridge Niantic (East Lyme) I am creating this page because one day, in May 2011, I was poking around the Niantic area of East Lyme.

Flying Horses

Okay, not Flying But... Diving Horses in Niantic 100 years ago I was poking around the Niantic section of East Lyme one fine day and stopped to check out a sign which noted the highlights of the Niantic River Estuary Canoe/Kayak Trail.

131. Children’s Museum of Southeastern Connecticut

Getting Into the Guts of Children’s Museums Niantic (Google Maps location) July 25, 2009 For the first few years of writing this blog, I did my very best to retain my sort of anonymous integrity. By the summer of 2009, I began receiving more and more invites to events and museums, which I almost always politely … [Read more...]

58. Thomas Lee House Museum

Nice, But Where's the Stripper Pole? East Lyme (Google Maps Location) June 14, 2008 No stripper pole? No weird swing above the bed? No music studio? It stands to reason that ol' Thomas Lee was called Tommy by his mates. So you can't blame me for thinking I was going to a museum built in honor of Mr. Pam … [Read more...]
