Dunkin Donuts. Seattleites, think Starbucks. There is a DD every half mile around here. We like it because it has free wi-fi so we can look up addresses and such. The kids like it because they sell doughnuts. It's a right of passage really, like going to In-n-Out in Cali.
Atlantic Ocean!! OK so technically it's the Long Island Sound. Close enough right? I was surprised at how warm it was. All 'sounds' are not equal I guess (yes Puget I mean you). This little dip was unplanned and just a break from sitting in the car. We will have to plan a bigger and better trip when we get settled into something permanent. We get lots of good advice from locals.
While I am on this train of thought and for those that care... Here is my "East Coast List". Not sure why I am using quotes so much lately. Sorry if it is annoying. Anyway, back to the list.
While I am on this train of thought and for those that care... Here is my "East Coast List". Not sure why I am using quotes so much lately. Sorry if it is annoying. Anyway, back to the list.
1. New York. Just has to be done. I could use a tour guide (Mitch?). This includes but is not limited to the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Ground Zero, and Times Square.
2. Palmyra. I want to go during the pageant even though it will be crowded.
3. Boston. Love it. There is so much history in that town. I don't think I could ever visit too much. I would love to go to a Sox game at Fenway. I want to go to Cape Cod.
4. Light Houses. They are just so cool. They remind me of my Dad and Kara.
5. Atlantic Ocean. Check! But I want to go to a better beach too. Something with cool boardwalks and stuff like that.
6. Carousels. New England has a few of the country's remaining Loof Carousels.
7. D.C. The other Washington. It is a bit of a drive but worth it right? There are things I missed last time I was there on account of me getting stitches in my face... I would LOVE to see the fireworks on the 4th again, don't know if Sterling would be up for that though. Lets see, Capitol Building, White House, Lincoln Memorial. You know, that kind of stuff.
8. Rhode Island. Sterling really liked it when he was there. Block Island sounds like fun. Amica Headquarters. Ha, just kidding. But in reality I bet Sterling will take me there when we go...
9. Autumn. I guess I don't know how I would "do" autumn but I want to and will experience New England in the fall. I'm sure there are lots of fun things to do. Maybe one year we can go up to New Hampshire or Vermont.
That's all I can think of for now. If any of you out there have lived in or visited this area and have a suggestion please comment! I would love to put it on the list!

We're happy for you but jealous for us about the Dunkin' Donuts. Good luck with your outings. We can help a bit with the DC trip.
YES to lighthouses! we also love donuts so we'll be out to visit.....love you guys.
You guys got to do the trolley tour in DC. It takes you to all the stops in DC. You can ride it all day long and get on and off as you please. Great deal to tour the city. Also Maryland and VA are pretty much DC soooo check out the battlefields in both..Antiem is awesome...and Bull Run. And then you can also go to PA....tons to do there and Amish country and Hershey PA. Palmyra is a great thing to do too! We also went to NIagra Falls during our Palmyra trip! We enjoyed Dunkin donuts a bit but nothing compares to the hole in the wall places in Cali! (:
