Not Too Shoddy Shoddy Mill Preserve, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 I’ve been on a kick lately hiking with my sons. Credit the endless winter of 2013-14 and our shared need to just get outside now that the weather has warmed above freezing. (That and my OCD telling me that build out my new CTMQ sections on land … [Read more...]
Mill Pond Trail
Duck, Duck, Goose... Spiral Slide! Mill Pond Trail, Newington March 2014 Yes, I know. I know this is a somewhat ridiculous “trail” and to have its own page on CTMQ is a bit silly. Don’t I have enough to write about already? Must I bother with a little walk around a pond in Newington? Yes and yes. But once … [Read more...]
Imagine Nation
If I Ruled the World… Imagine That Imagine Nation Children's Museum, Bristol (Google Maps location) March 7, 2014 Post pandemic, Imagine Nation is no longer a self-guided museum. It is now an instructor-led, appointment only type of place. It still bills itself as a museum however. Everyone is certainly … [Read more...]
Campbell Falls State Park
Campbell Falls State Park Norfolk April 19, 2014 Phew. This is hard work. I’ve had a page about Campbell Falls for several years up on CTMQ, but it always bothered me. I visited this place in 2010 with my older son Damian and we merely parked and made the quick .4 mile round-trip walk down to the highlight of … [Read more...]
KLT: Hollister and Whitehouse Family Nature Preserves
HOLLA-ster Hollister and Whitehouse Family Nature Preserves April 5, 2014 I could get used to this. Short drives, excited sons, cool hikes of perfect (for them) lengths. Perfect in the sense that it exhausts them, but don’t mentally or physically damage them. By my figuring, I can do this pretty much every … [Read more...]
Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates
OMGoshen Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates, Goshen March 16, 2014 Since our initial visit, we've sort of made Thorncrest our "special" chocolate place. Valentine's Days, anniversaries, "It's Saturday and we're near Goshen So We Might As Well Go to Thorncrest Days..." It's still remote, the salesroom … [Read more...]
261. Twitchell-Rowland Homestead
Twitchy in the Twitchell Oxford (Google Maps location) March 16, 2014 I feel sort of lame writing up this museum. Why? Because they just got their museum going last year and it's super sparse and can only get better over time. But when you set out to visit every museum in a state with many hundreds of museums, … [Read more...]
Sessions Woods WMA
Hiking Sessions Session Woods WMA Multiple hikes You know what the most ridiculous thing you’ll read today is? This: I don’t think anyone else has ever used “Hiking Sessions” as a title for a description of hiking at Sessions Woods. What the heck is wrong with people? Is there really any other title for … [Read more...]
Avalonia: Knox Family Farm Preserve
Knox on Wood Knox Family Farm Preserve, Stonington February 1, 2014 I used this hike as sort of a test. Could I drive to the furthest (by time) spot in Connecticut (more or less) alone with my two boys, hike a long (for them) hike, go to lunch, go to Beer'd Brewing (since I'd be down there), and then drive home. … [Read more...]
Wintergreen Falls
It's Winter, but not Green Wintergreen Falls, New Haven January 17, 2014 Another day out in Connecticut's most interesting city with the boys... which included the two trails at West Rock Nature Center. Note: This is a wholly different place than West Rock Ridge State Park. The State Park has had its own … [Read more...]
