When in Roam

30th street station in Philadelphia, Penna In the spring of 2012, I set out via Amtrak on a solo trip to check out Philadelphia, Charlottesville ( my son lived there then)  and D.C. museums.. Yes Philadelphia, home of the  Pennsylvania Academy Fine Arts which opened in 1805 -it was  the country's first museum and art school.  my hotel room Beautiful exhibition, thank you Mr. Van Gogh Philadephia Museum of Art Philadelphia Flower Show  then a quick stop to the Philadelphia flower show– If you've never seen it put it on your bucket list Charlottesville Okay, well Charlottesville, home of 2 presidents-- Jefferson & Monroe, was less about the museums and more about the wineries ( there are 30+) - indulge, indulge a lot of museums in D.C.,     easy to get lost in the National Gallery of Art, which has been around since 1937--wonder what your favorite gallery around is????? xoxo

I like to go down to New York by myself often–now there's a place with surprises -here I am doing a picture with The Mario Brothers– Good I can share with my family, I thought,  but the Mario brother with the Red Hat said to me you better cough it up lady-ouch Oh well, when in Roam....

Stonington, CT It all started years ago....as a child I told my mother that I wanted to suck the juices out of life… really...  So I indulged myself, and began to rove,  wander and look for the interesting things in life. As an adult, it began small–meandering to cool coffee places etc. Later, got into museums and the first time I ever saw Edvard Munch's painting–the Scream I was never the same 👌 nature came next–so much to see! Today I roamed to Stonington,  Connecticut–a historic town full of surprises. I found this coffee shop–don't you love the name?
