Days 1-3: Rhode Island 2010

January 7, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Crazy ol' Rhode Island August 28-30, 2010 I don't even have any pictures of the 29th and can only assume we did nothing but lounge around and go to the beach all day. But on the 30th we did venture out to Newport for the usual Newport stuff but also a stop at the somewhat lame Save The Bay Exploration Center and … [Read more...]

Rhode Island 2010 Intro

January 7, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Point Judith, Narragansett, RI August 28 - September 4, 2010 I grew up in Delaware, live in Connecticut and we’ve started this Rhode Island vacation house thing. That means I grew up in the second smallest state, live in the third smallest and vacation in the smallest. That’s weird, right? No, no, not weird that … [Read more...]

Dalice Elizabeth Winery

January 5, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

ImPrest? In Preston Dalice Elizabeth Winery, Preston August 2010 & November 2011 With over 30 wineries in the state at the time of this writing, there's bound to be one that I sort of gloss over and don't really give a fair shake. This would be the one. First of all, it's in Preston and it's not like Preston is a … [Read more...]

Montreal 2001

December 22, 2011 by Steve Leave a Comment

Burlington VT/Montreal, QC October 2001 Truth be told I'm just cleaning up my desktop and came across these old scanned in pictures from a little weekend trip Hoang and I took to Montreal back in October 2001. I happen to love Montreal and used to go up there more than I'd go to New York in my pre-children days. … [Read more...]

212. Nathan Hale Schoolhouse (v.NL)

October 1, 2011 by Steve 1 Comment

”I Have But One Life to Give – And Two Schoolhouses of Course” New London (Google Maps location) May 21, 2011 I don’t know how many states have “State Heroes,” but I’m glad we do.

September 26, 2011 by Steve 2 Comments

Neigh! A Cowboy Museum in Connecticut?! Yee Haw! Granby (Google Maps location) September 2011 I really, really wish I could remember how I found out about this place.
