I am sad to say we are nearing the end of the Amanda in New England trip (#AmandaInNewEngland). A lot of our trip was spent exploring some of the Northeast’s best cities, Boston and New York. We also spend some time wandering around Connecticut, stopping at Avery Point, Fort Trumbull, Kayaking around Old Lyme, and even a day at the barn where Amanda rode Bradley. While Amanda had surely gotten a taste of New England with historic Boston and beautiful Connecticut, I really wanted her to experience some of the best parts about New England, the parts that make me swoon- the coast, the charm, the character. I wanted to do that without trekking all the way up to Acadia, Maine, or through the backwoods of Vermont/New Hampshire. To show Amanda what I thought was some of the best of New England, I decided to take her to Block Island, Rhode Island and plan the perfect weekenders guide for a weekend of quintessential New England close enough to home.
