This summer I've been on a quest to find local activities for us to do. Joe's school and work schedule has not allowed for us to take a vacation this summer. Oh and the fact that we're broke might have something to do with it as well.
At the start of the summer, I was asking him if he would be interested in going to Grey Towers. It took about 2 months before we actually got there, though. The skies were overcast and it was slated to rain that day, but we went for it. We walked around the grounds a little bit before we began a tour of the mansion. Of course, once inside the grand facade, the skies opened up and the rest of the outdoor tour was scrapped. We got to view the upper 2 levels of the mansion though, which were very pretty. We do plan on going back since we lost that day there. There is a halloween tour of the old cemetarty that we've already managed to get a few friends to agree to do with us. In September is the ice cream social, which Mom and Sean will probably go to with us. I wish I could report more about it, but I can't. Check back for the next trip there.
After that it was a brief lunch at the Tom Quick Inn. The food was great and the service was prompt. The biggest pitfall was the 200 person poker tournament going on over near the bar. That was incredibly loud and annoying becuase the restraunt portion was too close to the bar. Joe made the suggestion that if we go back there, it will have to be on a weekday. I agree.
