It’s been a hot minute since I shared some photos of any of the cool, abandoned, and often historical places in and around New England (something I did quite often at the height of the pandemic since social distancing made it so easy!) although my longtime passion for what is commonly referred to as “Urban […]
At the end of March, which was one of the most busy and nerve-racking months of my life, I had said that my goal for April was to simply rest, relax, get back into my routine and enjoy some travel- and for the most part- I was successful. Although a little more relaxation would have […]
I had contemplated doing a write-up about a day spent at Mystic Aquarium at some point this Summer, since it had been a popular vacation destination for my family and I when I was growing up and I haven’t been back in many, many years- but this past weekend when my cousin Paige proposed getting […]
