Berlin Fair October 2010 2019 Note: As a general rule, I don't write up town fairs. However, once in a while I will. Usually this will be for CTMQ-worthy reasons, but Berlin doesn't really have that. But it does have two museums, so I guess that qualifies. Attended: Sunday Afternoon Parking: Free Distance … [Read more...]

191. Blue Slope Country Farm Museum
Feeling Blue? Then Go Here Franklin (Google Maps location) October 2, 2010 Hoang was pregnant and tired. Damian has never really enjoyed physical efforts or putzing around at outdoor events.

Concept of Freedom Trail: Meriden (2)
George S. Jeffrey House 66 Hillside Avenue This is one of those stops along the Freedom Trail that has given me more to ponder than I would have ever thought. For one, it’s for sale which recalled (for me, and surely only me) another stop along the Freedom Trail up in Vernon – the Charles Ethan Porter House which … [Read more...]
190. Ashbel Woodward House Museum
Franklin My Dear, I DO Give a Damn Franklin (Google Maps location) October 2, 2010 When I say “Franklin,” what image comes to mind? That children’s story turtle?

Belgique Chocolatier (Closed)
Très Délicieux, Très Cher Belgique Chocolatier, Kent February 25, 2012 This place closed in the fall of 2012. This was always my go-to anytime I went hiking out near Kent. Sad face. Also, just having re-read this page in 2019... it's a shame I put no effort into it, as Belgique was pretty great. The Chocolate … [Read more...]
Camp Columbia State Park
Camp Columbia State Park Morris June 18, 2011 This is a funny one. It’s one of Connecticut’s many “undeveloped” state parks – but has a really cool thing in it that makes it one of the “undeveloped” parks well worth visiting. In fact, for the first time in my life, I wasn’t alone in an undeveloped state park! … [Read more...]
Camp Columbia Tower
Watch Your Step Camp Columbia State Park Tower June 18, 2011 (Officially Closed) Stone Tower [Update: The tower was open in 2014, though I doubt the state has officially made this "climbable."] As this tower sits atop a small hill in what is now a state park, and as the writer of this website I must make … [Read more...]
