5 States 5 Weekends: Part 2

After spending a day in beautiful Maine last week I decided to go to Rhode Island for the day today. In case you missed the last post which you can find here, I’ve challenged myself to visit 5 states in 5 weeks to make my spring a little more interesting. I was lucky in that it was a beautiful day because the weather has been terrible for most of the week. 

5 States 5 Weekends: Part 1

Lately I’ve been really boring so I decided to set myself a challenge to give me something to do in my spare time. After considering a number of possibilities like seeing how long it would take me to eat my own body weight in chocolate I decided that most of my ideas were ridiculous and that the challenge shouldn’t involve eating, education or exercise. I came up with the idea of going to a different state every weekend for 5 weeks. First step was Maine.

Canada!

This week I find myself in Canada, staying in Toronto. It’s my first time in Canada and I’ve really liked being here. I’ll post some of my impressions on Canada next week but here are some of my photos from the last few days. Hope you like them!

View from the ridiculously high CN Tower!

If you go to the top level of the Tower you can look down on skyscrapers!

The glass floor of the observation deck. If you don’t like heights it’s maybe best to avoid!

The most Canadian graffiti in the world?

I walked along the waterfront for a few miles to get a skyline view.

One million dollar gold coin in the Royal Ontario Museum.

Saturday Snapshots #9

Hello and welcome to Saturday Snapshots! Today the weather is beautiful and I have been wandering around in a t-shirt and I am very much feeling the joys of spring so today’s theme is spring.

That Friday Feeling…

Happy Friday everyone! It’s the end of the week and as today was a beautiful day I went and sat by the Charles River in the sunshine after work and forgot about the world for a bit.

A Monumental Trip

At the weekend I had some spare time on my hands so I decided to visit something that I had wanted to check out in the Boston area for a while; the Bunker Hill Monument.

April (Snow) Showers

Yesterday we were hit by a April snowstorm that lasted most of the day. Most people rushed home after work trying to avoid the wet snow but with my trusty boots and a curious disregard for the perils of mild hypothermia I decided to go for a walk.

Greetings from sunny Boston, I hope you are all having a great weekend!

Spring is Snow Fun!

I woke up this morning to a strong wind and a moderate snowstorm.
