Missed Opportunities not to be missed, again!

I (Ward) remember living in Southern California in my early 20's. I lived less that 10 miles from Disneyland which has always been one of my favorite places. Despite my affinity for Disneyland, the only time that I went to the amusement park was when family or friends came in from out of town to visit the park (1-2 times per year). Today, Disneyland is too expensive to go more than once a year, but back then it was only $15-$20 for entry which would have been a great date or group activity. As I look back, I realize that I missed the advantage of living so close to a place that so many travel thousands of miles to be. New England has one of the richest histories in the US that date back to the 17th century (Plymouth rock and the Salem witch trials) up to the present day (Whitey Bulger and gay marriage, "not that there is anything wrong with it"). There is so much to explore with great stories that accompany these historic sites, and we don't want to regret the missed opportunities to explore this area. So we will continue to explore this area (we have been New England Explorers for over 5 years) We hope to use this blog to keep you updated on our travels and our lives in New England.
