Tripping to CT!

Greenwich CT, Old Greenwich, Stamford and Rye.   After our recent weekend on the road to DC and back, this past weekend we decided (Chilli and I) to explore much closer to home. So we went on a huge 45 minute train ride out to Stamford Connecticut. Once we arrived, we picked up a hire … Continue reading →

Baltimore

Baltimore pitt-stop I can’t claim to have done my due diligence in Baltimore.   To be fair I was only there for a couple of hours on the drive back to NY from DC. I mean I didn’t even get to go hunting for the location of The Wire.  As if I would, too scared … Continue reading →
