Solar Eclipse 2024
A bunch of solar eclipses occur every year (i think like maybe four or five) but witnessing a “total” eclipse where there’s 100% coverage is kinda rare. This time, we were lucky enough for it to be close-ish to home so we made a week of it.
Road Trip to Brigantine
On the lighter side, i’ve been taking advantage of opportunities to just get out of the house (safely) and take pleasure in simpler, brief visits. I accompanied Oleg to Brigantine, NJ — Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and just was happy to be in the passenger seat and taking in the scenery.
Celebrating July 4th weekend in Bar Harbor
Spending the July 4th weekend in Bar Harbor, Maine — also getting some much needed “R & R” (rest and relaxation).
The Breakers: Visiting the "Gilded Age"
Visiting the Gilded Age, the Vanderbilt’s Summer home.
Boston Churches Visited
Visited twelve churches during my weekend visit to Boston. I'm using my new 360-degree camera - hopefully gives a more immersive experience!
Luke’s birthday Adventure
In honor of the “answer to life, the universe, and everything” (for those that read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, you’ll know the answer is 42 - wink, wink), we drove three hours (again) to Monteverde for some sightseeing and adventure.
