Singin' in the Rain
Despite going to bed at 12:30, I awoke at 6:20. Usually, there is no line for the showers on Thursday, as everyone is going home. I decided to chance it and there were 4 open showers. When I got out, there was a line. I can't recall a time when it ...
This isn't your Mother's Kitchen
I'm a camping purist. To me, if you aren't sleeping in a tent or out under the stars, you aren't camping. Meals should be cooked over an open fire or on one of those Coleman stoves. Coffee should percolate in a blue ceramic pot. Somehow, to ...

Visiting the Oldest City in America
... about this, as this reality is still another day away but we must point Winnie's nose northwards and start our ascent to the Northern States along the east coast in search of only one thing - a white Christmas. We have huge miles to do to experience the ...

Happy to be here. Brendan saw his new pediatrician at 11 a.m., and he didn't find the oxygen necessary. So he's unplugged! We'll go back tomorrow for another check. Went for late breakfast at Brendan's in Rowayton to celebrate. Brendan had ...
Darien Days
We attended Darien Days but did not stay long; it was a bit warm and the gnats were biting. We rode our bikes and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The bird houses were hand made with all kinds of items attached to ...
What's skunk taste like?....Pork! (Private Joke)
An alternative title could be: "Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink." (10 points to the first person who can say where I got that quote.) Breakfast was French toast and bacon. As one of the irritating personalities on the Food ...
No Hail, the Gang is all here
... when we did this that we didn't have some other campers hear our singing and come and join us. We drove the rest of the way to Darien Lake afterwards. It is only a couple of hours and we couldn't get in until 2:00, so we took our time. There is a ...
