rustic connecticut

i once asked drew endy what the best thing to visit in boston is. dryly, he replied, “the airport.”
christina and i have been doing a great job these past couple of weekends of getting out of boston. last weekend, we took a day trip to northern connecticut. only about 45 minutes away, we had a wonderful drive, watching the trees blush red and orange the entire way.
first stop: a maize maze. (yea, remarkably clever.) nevertheless, running around a several acre labyrinth of 8-foot high corn was surprisingly fun.
as well as unexpectedly challenging:
the rest of the day was spent playing with the big:
and with the small:
the day ended with a lovely wine-tasting at a charming family winery. there, the grower’s daughter regaled us with stories of her father’s first forays into wine-making. apparently, he’d stuff casks into unoccupied hallway nooks – a practice ended when the wine barrels started exploding. (turns out when you filter out yeast from wine, you better be sure you’re doing a good job.)
stories like that make wine tasting fun.
i remember back in like 5th grade or something… when I went pumpkin picking with you and your family, I had a great time stomping down cornstalks. It made me feel like a giant and the cornstalks was like a city, and I was just plowing through, destroying the city
heh, i can’t even remember going pumpkin picking with you and my family
(see earlier post about getting old.)
where did we go?
I don’t know it was back in 5th grade! I wouldnt have even known where we were going if you told me back then.
It stings alittle you dont recall such an event whose memory that i cherish so much. I thought we were like this: X. =P
I also remebered you falling asleep on my shoulder on the car ride back. It was like our first trip together!
haha, hope i didn’t drool!
