I Hate Winter

Winter officially begins over night tonight. It snowed today and there is a little snow on the ground.

I hate winter. I just hate it. I want nice weather and sunshine and water and fun back, right now.

Duke

I wonder where Duke spends its winters?

Today’s Daily Road Trip

The last two day trips have taken us North, one to New Hampshire and the other to Maine. Today we went South to Rhode Island. We went down to Westerly and then came back up the coast through Narraganset and Newport. We stopped for pictures at a couple of spots in Westerly. That town is a New England flavored paradise. I could totally live there.

So where should we go tomorrow?

What a Difference Some Fog Makes

This weekend was Jen and my second tour of the Breakers, the super huge house in Newport, RI. The first time was in April 2011 on a spur of the moment stop on the way home from a Rush show in New York.

It was super foggy the first time, and we practically had the joint to ourselves. The second time was a nice happy, sunny fall day and there were people crawling all over the place.

The Breakers in Newport, RI

We went to The Breakers in Newport, RI today. This is the Vanderbilt family’s summer cottage. It’s a freakin’ palace and they called it their summer cottage. I’m hoping the four of us can move in within the next couple of weeks. We will use it year round though. We don’t have quite enough money to just use this in the summer.
