Posted by on Aug 4, 2012 in Featured Slider, Restaurants, Road Trip, Travel | 0 comments Today, day seven, we leave Rhode Island for upstate New York and a three and a half hour drive.  At 10 am it is already blistering hot and muggy.

Posted by on Sep 1, 2011 in BBQ, Featured Slider, Restaurants, Road Trip, Travel | 4 comments It’s a cool 80 degrees at 8:00 this fine morning as we prepare to leave. Breakfast is to be at a local bagel shop. We head out and in under two minutes manage get pulled over by Tupelo PD. You cannot drive in parking lanes here. Who knew?  After a “Be careful of those parking lines, ya’ll have a nice day now!” we are off again. Bagel Shop…closed permanently. Sigh. We are back...
