we haven't traveled for quite some time. so i thought i'd share with you a little "trip" into the nearest city... we went in on a beautiful sunny spring day, quite a rarity around here so far this spring!
we arrived at this beautiful red brick building, one of my favorites in this place!
we entered into this imposing pillared entryway and found ourselves in the quaint little museum, where there was art, artifacts and history, all very engaging and very interesting. but nothing to touch, of course. oh yes, i like to touch things!! so we went down the block where the interactive museum was. it was geared toward kids, so of course we went in and played around. Parents with small children gave us wondering looks...
this is the glass wall of the Lighthouse building where the interactive museum is housed and also an art exhibit, as well as scheduled art classes. this wall really glistens in the sunlight!
the next day we visited the village green in the historic part of town. it was a festival day so the lawn was crowded with people out enjoying the sunshine and festive activities.
a ballet troupe showed off some dances from their current show, here a group of asian dancers, following an irish clogging group. and various musical groups filled the square with music for dancing and enjoyment.
for lunchtime, there was a chowder cookoff. this little ticket allowed you to sample 8 different offerings of chowder, all of them with their own twist on flavor. my favorite was the classic white chowder, although the coconut shrimp chowder was superb also! the ticket also got you a "hunk of bread" from a local bakery... YUM!
daughter Jessie and son-in-law Jerry joined us in our feasting...
hope you all are having fun travels! where have you gone lately? i'd love to hear...
