Boston Reunions
Last weekend Rich and I went to Boston, to see the city and visit his brother, James, and his fiance Kelsey. We enjoyed a peaceful drive in by way of the Mass. Pike- or ‘The Pike,’ as it’s called here.…
Travel
Bohemian Provincetown Retreat
The only way to Provincetown is a small highway through the center of Cape Cod, and the 40 mile trip was uneventful. You do see a number of small lakes, which I later learned are called kettle ponds — clear,…
Cape Cod: Falmouth and Woods Hole
Rich and I’d left Newport Rhode Island on early Sunday evening, and I was excited to get to Cape Cod, known by locals as The Cape. We drove over the Bourne Bridge, which spans the canal, and is one of…
Hiking in New England
Most people who know us know that we love to hike. Heading into the great outdoors is one of our favorite hobbies, and that’s one of the reasons we’ve enjoyed living in California so much – there are lots of…
Newport RI, Mansions and The Cliff Walk
Some of my favorite memories from New England center around its’ coastlines. From areas like the South Shore, The Cape and Newport Rhode Island I have enjoyed special summer times with my family throughout the years. When I realized Rich…
The Garlic & Arts Festival
On my flight from Atlanta to Boston I was greeted by thunderstorms, rain and resulting travel delays. I’d been visiting my daughter, Jennifer and her family in Atlanta for a few weeks, and was headed to Western MA to reunite…

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Like Rich, I’m catching up on these next two posts that cover our time at Disney, as we’ve been on the go so much. While I’ve spent plenty of time at Disneyland, I’ve never been to Disney World before. A …
Florida and Disney’s Epcot
It’s been a week since we posted, and what a week it’s been! Just to get everyone up to speed, we had a relatively uneventful drive from New Orleans to Orlando. The drive through the Florida panhandle is long, rolling,…
New Orleans & The French Quarter
The Power of Facebook A strange way to start a post about New Orleans, I know, but I have to mention how very cool Facebook can be. While sitting in a Starbucks outside of Lake Charles (western LA), and catching…
Welcome to Louisiana, Spanish Moss and the Swamp
It’s an understatement to say that we are glad to leave the state of Texas today. Now that’s no fault of Texas, rather it just so happens to be such a large expanse when you’re traveling from coast to coast…
