Why in God’s Name am I in Portland, Maine for Valentine’s Day?

Welcome to Kennebunkport Sign

I can’t believe I only got 2 hours of sleep last night and still managed to stay awake for a 350 mile journey to Portland, Maine, and even got in an hour of sightseeing in Kennebunkport on top of that too. I took a stroll in Kennebunkport’s Dock Square, saw the Bush Compound, had pizza…

A Day in Philly

Pat's King of Steaks

Last week I did an overnight trip to Philadelphia. :-D It was going to be the final stop of my road trip back home, but I just didn’t have time to sightsee the city then. Since it’s only a hundred something miles from home though, I knew I’d be able to visit it for a…

Old South Meeting House

State House

Site of a famous meeting where Samuel Adams gave the signal to launch the famous Boston Tea Party. I’m a part of history, baby! :-D

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…
