I'm thinking a great way to shake the world
would be a road trip to Woodstock, Connecticut

A road trip
(can be close or far away)
it's just another way to get out there
and see the whole world
that's just waiting to be noticed!
You'd be foolish to miss it.

some fine places. love the stone wall, though.
Great looking stone wall and that house was quite fancy looking.
Hello Karen!:) I love the back and white photo of Bowen House, it's such a great composition. The gate and fence are very nice, and I like your choice of quotes, that ring so true.
What a glorious tour - thank you so much.
I love the different definitions of "cottage". Over here, a cottage is usually a modest two up (sometimes three), two down dwelling. However, Roseland is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
Good morning, I love road trips! What a pretty house.
Great travel quotes and photos. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
Love that house... So far this summer, everywhere I've been I've been before. But I am planning on a trip to Cumberland Island later this month and I've not been there!
I like that first house!
What a lovely place!
I love "Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost" - wonderful! That's quite a building - is it timber framed too?
