We are fortunate here in New England to have many places to take day trips to. Visiting Louisa May Alcott’s house has been on my bucket list for a while now and my sister and I planned a day around it. Our itinerary here was for two women in their forties so keep that in… Read More How to Spend a Day in Concord, Massachusetts

Continuing on from my last blog post, here. Day 3: a day to spend in the rain in Boston! We lucked out in the fact that it never down poured on us, but I was ready just in case. I packed ponchos for everyone and a few umbrellas and made sure everyone had a hood… Read More How To Spend a Weekend in Boston in March, Part Two

Having lived seven years of my life in Boston I am elated to go visit as a tourist! It has been years since I visited up there and since the kids have a long weekend off in March, we decided it is time to see Bean Town. We are staying close to Boston Common and… Read More Where To Next? Weekend in Boston
We have all had that Taylor song in our heads coming into 2022 haven’t we?! Well, today I turn 44 and I think age is only as young as you feel. Luckily I feel pretty damn good. Having a January birthday means I’ve never been to my happy place on my birthday, the beach. Even… Read More Feeling 22
I finished 2021 checking off another state park from my list! I have visited 29 of the 107 Connecticut State Parks so far. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon 🙂 This was a hike I did with my three kids, all did totally fine, an easier hike. We did almost four miles, but shorter… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Trout Brook Valley
My middle daughter fractured her foot in October so our hiking has been minimal. Boo. I’ve been able to go out with my sister a couple of times and we checked Lamentation off our state park list. We paired it with Giuffrida Park because Lamentation isn’t that big of a place. Here’s the track I… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Lamentation Mountain
Took a break from blogging because, well, see below. It has been a breathtaking autumn here in Connecticut. I hold onto the beauty of autumn for as long as possible and mourn the leaves when they go. Hope you are all enjoying the fall!
Seeing Hamilton on Broadway had been a bucket list item for me for years and I finally got to go! It was everything I wanted it to be and more. There’s nothing like a Broadway show to help you forget about life and jump into an amazing story with all your heart. Wouldn’t you know… Read More Visiting Broadway!
Happy Autumn!!! My next big trip isn’t until after Thanksgiving because I absolutely love this time of year in Connecticut. One year I went to Florida a week in October and came home disappointed I missed a week of fall in New England. I vowed not to do that again. Wanderings that consist of New… Read More Where To Next?

Even with some rainy weather I had an excellent three days in the Finger Lakes region of New York. It was a five hour drive from Connecticut to my friend’s house where we stayed in Auburn. The drive was beautiful though so I didn’t mind the length, and I imagine in autumn it’s spectacular. Easy… Read More A Long Weekend in The Finger Lakes
