303. GEHMS Planetarium

Spacing Out Glastonbury (Google Maps location) October 10, 2015 This cool little planetarium ignited a heated debate in my house. I mentioned that I would be including it as a museum visit for this website, and my wife roundly chastised me for that. “It’s a planetarium. It’s not a museum.” “I know. But I … [Read more...]

Glastonbury's "Other Trails" My post-college, pre-Hoang girlfriend was from Glastonbury. I recall checking out Cotton Hollow with her once and thinking, whoa, this is pretty cool.
