Restaurant Week & Fall Days

Wow! The fall has flown by.  As we head into finals and prepare our big presentations to end the semester I chose to share some photos of the great food and friends that we've shared great times with.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and may your holiday season be filled with family, friends, great food, and lots of love!!  Cheers, Neva

Salem & Block Island

It's a chilly day after unexpected wonderfully warm days earlier this week!  Before rounding the corner to Thanksgiving and Christmas, I wanted to check a couple of items off the Bucket List :)  Salem on the Saturday before Halloween was busy and filled with wonderful treats AND tricks!!  Also, on the last boat ride of the season we were graced with great weather and made it out to Block Island.  This little place is a must see and I think we'll try to visit again.
Here's a couple photos from the adventures of the last few weeks.

The List.....a living document

Military families are always on the move. My family has moved every three years for the last 12. This makes us a well-travelled and adventurous lot!  Now, we are looking forward to another two years in New England and thus the Bucket list grows.  You'll note a couple places outside of the NE states (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island) but for us, it is all relative to this part of the planet :)
