Our Day on Block Island • August 14, 2017 We’ve spent our summer in Connecticut trying to experience life in New England to its fullest, whether that be hiking in the woods, strolling town and city streets, and walking along rocky coastlines.

Sleeping Giant State Park

Lock 12 Historic Park • Sleeping Giant State Park • July 25, 2017 Curtis: On the recommendation of a friend, we decided to take a midweek trip to go hiking at Sleeping Giant State Park.  Believe it or not, but Southeastern Connecticut is flat — at least flat in comparison to the Adirondacks or Arizona.  Whenever we get the chance to hike… Read More
