Taking a break in front of the fireplace

I took some timeout from blogging to give myself a chance to soak in the utter awesomeness of the log cabin I’m staying at in the Smokies. Still have to write about my trip to Vegas, and I have a few other posts in the queue that I need to flesh out as well, but…

Going another way

Statue at Red Lion Inn

Finally wrapping up a whirlwind of a weekend before heading back home tomorrow. To recap, I traveled to the Berkshires to spend a night in Stockbridge at the Red Lion Inn, and then stayed at a roadside motel in Barrington for the last two nights and using that as a launchpad to return to Stockbridge…

Lessons learned from taking an impromptu vacation

When I left last Tuesday, I only had a rough idea of where I’d be going. I knew I wanted to take a drive through Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, but other than that I was playing it by ear. I started out in Connecticut on Route 7, and boy I couldn’t leave that state fast…
