Pawtuckaway
Joe has been going on and on for months now about how great Pawtuckaway State Park in New Hampshire is. Sunday we went up to check it out ourselves, and…

Mt Washington (Area)
Yen is in Hawaii (probably a topic for another post…), so you’ll have to forgive the quality of the photos you’re about to see. As I was packing for the…
Field Trip to the Public Garden
If it’s Spring, we’re going to the Public Garden – that’s just a fact. It happens every year, so you should be used to it by now. I confess I’ve…
In Which I Stand in Front of Many Trees
We couldn’t stand being inside another minute now that nice weather is upon us, so we grabbed keys and camera and headed into Boston. First stop was in Dorchester for…
Russian Icon Museum
Now that the weekend is nearly upon us, I should probably get around to telling you all about las weekend. While house hunting has become our primary pastime suddenly, we…
Of Opus Dei, Instincts, and Tiffany Mosaics
The theory has been put forth – at different times by different people, none of whom are named Yen Tran – that I move through this world largely clueless about…
Harvard Natural History Museum
I told you about one field trip during our staycation, but I’ve been lazy about posting the photos from our other field trip. The Harvard Natural History Museum is free…
Higgins Armory
I’ve been to Higgins Armory before. David and I went there in 2004 when he came to visit. After Yen and I decided on a staycation for Presidents Day, we…
Lyman Greenhouses
Because it’s so cold and snowy outside, I have a present for you. We took a field trip Saturday (because we were so very cold and wanted to feel a…
Mt Auburn Cemetery After Snow
We got up this morning to find six inches of lovely, powdery snow on the ground. If we weren’t both still nursing colds, it would have been the perfect day…
Macedonia State Park and Mt Auburn Cemetery (yes, again)
David flew out for the weekend with the specific goal of joining us for a hike. The leaves are really past peak, so we tried going south. It didn’t really…
Bartholomew’s Cobble and Bash Bish
This weekend’s trip was to the Berkshires. We started with Bartholomew’s Cobble, a place we’ve both been wanting to cross off the list for a while. It’s definitely out of…
Wachipauka Pond, Webster Slide Trail, Doane’s Falls, and High Ledges
We packed a lot into this weekend. Still searching for the best fall leaves, we started by heading north into NH. We knew that the Whites are pretty much past…
Crystal Cascade, Glen Ellis Falls, and West Rattlesnake Mountain
Fall managed to sneak up on us this year, and we don’t have the focused plan for optimal foliage viewing like we did last year. Central to that is a…
The Trails at Crane Beach
How many times have I been to Crane Beach? Twenty? That’s definitely not an exaggeration – maybe even more. With one exception, I’ve always just made a beeline for the…
