Heritage Museum and Gardens – Sandwich, MA
This is a neat place to visit in Cape Cod – not only are there gardens, but there’s a collection of antique cars, and a few art galleries scattered about the grounds. They also have a really cool hidden children’s garden, and some great programs, even if it does mean that the adults are being

Lake George, NY
A little light on the pictures, because we were there for a family reunion (BF’s family), but last weekend, we were in Lake George, on an overcast day that turned out to be exactly what we needed.
Jardin Botanique Montreal – Indoor Gardens
The botanic garden also has a fantastic conservatory, which just kept going, and going, and going. There was an orchid room, and a fern room, and a begonia room, and a Spanish hacienda garden, and a bonsai room. And more. I really enjoyed our visit there, and absolutely must go back, because

Governor’s Garden at the Chateau Ramezay – Montreal, QC
This garden was a really cool find – it’s attached to the Chateau Ramezay Museum and Historic site, but had free access. It’s set up with sections reminiscent of an earlier 18th century garden in New France. There’s a potager, an orchard and ornamental sections. I was so excited to see this – it’s

Old Montreal and Cirque du Soleil
Here’s where the vacation became international – on Friday morning, we headed up to Montreal. (It’s an easy two hour drive from Burlington. What ended up not being easy was finding our hotel, since they’re rebuilding the main bridge over the St. Lawrence, and the road closures are epic, and random.) We stayed

Burlington, VT
We ended the first day in Burlington, Vermont. After a fantastic dinner at the Farmhouse Tap and Grill (which used to be the McDonald’s that BF depended on for quick food during his college radio dj days), we wandered down to the waterfront of Lake Champlain, where we promptly saw a random beaver swimming
Along the Kancamagus Highway, New Hampshire
Here’s day one of last long weekend’s international road trip. Otherwise known as NH route 112, the Kancamagus winds through a portion of the White Mountain National Forest. There are several different stop offs along the way – the above includes Lower Falls, Rocky Gorge, and the CL Graham scenic overlook.

Cape Cod, MA
Also known as the great test for my new rain coat. Or, yet another time we went to Cape Cod with Weather! It did rain, but it was a lovely trip. The above pictures are over two days. We made it all the way out to P-town, and then had
Flowers around Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire
We’re finally past mud season. Not that things are perfect yet, but there are blooms! Pretty much everywhere. (Most of the above came from the overflow parking lot at the Kittery Outlets, which was not where I was expecting to have a nice little wildflower walk.)
