Staying Local

I've been meaning to post these pictures for quite awhile, I just keep forgetting. Anyways, they are just some pictures from places I've been to around here. Nothing terribly exciting, but still fun! 

This is the best ricotta cheesecake Bonnie and I had at an Italian restaurant in Bridgeport.. or maybe it was Trumbull. Yum! 

There is a children's museum  in Norwalk, called Stepping Stones with this playground outside of it.  Bonnie and I were really bored one day and we were messing around here and I got some good shots of Bonnie (please don't kill me for posting these). 

 What's more fun than a tire swing??





Caskey playing a motorcycle video game inside a Harley Davidson store. Yes, I played it too..

These are some pictures of animals from Silverman Farms here in Easton. I took Watermelon there on the day this lamb was born. It was pretty fun, feeding the animals and watching Watermelon try to pet them. 









Caskey, Bonnie, and I went to Jersey for the COC and stopped to visit Carlos' Bake Shop from the TLC show, Ace of Cakes, which was amazingly delicious! And we also got to see this poor chap dressed as french fries..


 Best brownie ever! 

The eclair was supposed to be mine, but I forgot it and I'm not entirely sure what happened to it.. Sad.

Our Nation's Capital

My trip to Washington DC this last weekend was AMAZING! I had so much fun. Caskey, Bonnie, and I did the double decker bus tours, which were awesome, especially the night time one! We saw a lot of the monuments and memorials, and visited a few of the museums. There's just so much that I figure it will be easier for you to see it, so here are some pictures from my trip.
