We took a ride to Fort Stamford today when the weather cleared up in the hopes that the garden would be in full bloom and it did not disappoint. Last fall I was there and while it was pretty it served it no justice for what it truly has to offer in the spring. Fort Stamford is located on Westover Road and was an active post from 1781-1783 commanded by Brigadier General Waterbury who served under George Washington. Fort Stamford housed troops who defended the coastline from Greenwich up to New Haven. Naturally the Fort was not used much after the 1700′s and is now a city park which was restored in the mid 70′s. If you ever want to take a quick stroll I recommend heading up there.
We recently took a trip Cape Cod for the weekend and managed to find a new place that we will hopefully continue to visit. There is great food, extremely friendly people and most importantly fantastic photographic opportunities. The weather was perfect and so was the weekend as a whole. I would definitely recommend making your way up there if you have the time. While in the Cape we took the ferry to over to Martha’s Vineyard and got an all day bus pass to visit some of the little town’s on the island. Again there was plenty of beautiful things to see as well as the Martha’s Vineyard Chowder House which was absolutely fantastic and we took an amazing walk along the shore in Edgartown. While on the way up we made a pit stop in Mystic Seaport, it isn’t everyday that I am up that way so I figured I may as well take advantage. While driving home we decided to hit Newport since it was “technically” on the way. Naturally the Cliff Walk was in order and there was a fantastic lunch at a new BBQ spot on Thames Street. This trip was a long time in the making and exceeded our expectations. I hope this collection of photos translates that to all of you. Thanks and enjoy.
I know it has been a while, almost too long since my last post and for that I apologize. While on another trip to NYC I decided it was time to shoot and update the blog. I don’t have much to say (believe it or not) other than enjoy and I hope to be a little more active as the weather becomes nicer.
