Don't Dawdle NorWalk Here - Run! Norwalk (Google Maps Location) April 18, 2009 2012 Update: We revisited the aquarium (again, with extended family, this time from Seattle) and were very impressed with the massive new reorganization of the joint - not reflected on this page. Some stuff got shuffled around, but all … [Read more...]
Mrs. Bridges’ Pantry (Closed)
Cheerio! Have You Anything to go with my Cheerios? “A Little Slice of Britain,” Woodstock November 2009 Mrs. Bridges' closed in early 2019. I try to limit the stuff I write about in these untamed sections of the blog. I really do. The stores have to be very, very unique or interesting to make the CTMQ grade … [Read more...]
Doughboy at Doogies
D’oh! Boy! Doogies, Newington This "Eat Before It's Too Late" list I’ve decided to pursue – and hopefully complete – has a few wildcard entries that throw me for a loop. But I am a completist if nothing else, so I will continue to feed my face and report my findings here, no matter how seemingly “off” some of this … [Read more...]
Rustling Wind Creamery
Not Exactly Bustling at Rustling Rustling Wind Creamery, Canaan November 29, 2009 The next time someone whines about how there’s nothing to do in Connecticut, send them our itinerary for this sunny November Saturday. I thrive on these random road trips and, I really do believe, Hoang appreciates them. And … [Read more...]
Taylor Brooke Winery
Taylor Made Wine Taylor Brooke Winery, Woodstock November 2009 A couple years ago, early on in the evolution of CTMQ, I decided to branch out from just museums and start exploring some of the other attractions around the state. Of course, I’ve gone completely off my rocker in the intervening time, but that’s not … [Read more...]
Oldest Theological School in the US
This Old House (of God) Joseph Bellamy House Bethlehem, December 2009 The more places I go around the state (which, I can confidently say is more than pretty much more than 99% of all Nutmeggers throughout the whole of history), the more fascinating things I learn along the way. This page, for instance, wasn’t … [Read more...]
Gozzi’s Turkey Farm
Max Headroom Goes to Guilford Gozzi's Neon Turkeys, Guilford November 2009 & 2013 Some pictures are from a 2013 revisit. What would compel me to get Hoang and Damian up and out the door early on a Saturday morning to drive all the way down to Guilford for what would amount to a 10 minute visitation? As you can … [Read more...]
West Cornwall Covered Bridge
Nothing Corny About These Walls (and Roof) West Cornwall Bridge, Cornwall/Sharon November 2009 2019 Update: I'll revisit the bridge and therefore this page again in the future. It needs help. As a family, we've gotten used to going on "adventures" just about every weekend. We've found that it's very … [Read more...]
Bishop’s Orchards Winery
I Feel a Little Fruity. Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That Bishop's Orchards, Guilford August 2009 Bishop's opened a homemade ice cream place on site as well. Color me shocked. Color me as shocked as when I met Peter Murphy at UConn. Of course you remember him… Right? He was known as “Bishop’s Son” … [Read more...]
Lourdes in Litchfield
Lawwwwwwds! Lourdes in Litchfield Shrine, Litchfield October 10, 2009 Having been to five billion sites around the state, you’d think I’d have no problem marching right in to anything on my itinerary. Oddly, that’s not the case at all. I still get cold feet now and then and the Lourdes in Litchfield shrine is a … [Read more...]
