Pretty strong connection between the first dreary, rainy day of fall and a warm bowl of chili (with lots of crackers!), if you ask me.

Story behind that pizza:
Wasn’t our favorite pizza of the trip, but might be the most memorable.
I don’t have a photo of it - my hands were full - but a favorite memory of this trip will be sharing a to-go large pepperoni pizza with my family on a bench next to the statue of Bewitched’s Elizabeth Montgomery in the early evening in Salem.
Here they are just after.
Also snagged a fresh photo of my previous lock screen- ~15 years later.
Things are a fair bit lighter now. :)
Each time I visit MoMA, I end up with a new iPhone background or two.
New ones from this trip are Monet’s “Water Lillies” on the lock screen and “The Town of the Poor” by Sonja Sekula elsewhere.
Now that I’m back home, here’s more travel photos featuring more than just me from the last week!
Travel, especially with family, has always been a deep well of meaning in my life.
Happy to be home after a week away, though.

(Photo of my family and I at The Breakers Mansion in Newport, RI, from Wednesday late afternoon/early evening)
Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton turned out to be a fine place for a rest about halfway through the longest driving day of the trip - from Boston to Western Pennsylvania.

Not a bad birthday:
When I travel, my favorite space is often either the train station or the public market.
In NYC, it’s Grand Central.
Here in Boston, it’s Quincy Market.

Stretching for the theme a bit, but I reckon this is a lawn that has seen a croquet match or two in its day.

Why thank you. It was good to be back after 15 years away.
Me and Frida at MoMA.

Finished a day traipsing around the Hudson Valley with the #pumpkinblaze at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson (just up river from Sleepy Hollow).
It got bigger in the last 15 years since I last went.

I didn’t need a compass to tell which side of Pennsylvania I was in today.

In the seemingly random rotation of my facial hair cycle, things came up clean shaven this time.

Far from ethereal, today’s dinner celebrates National Cheese Curd Day with Culver’s CurderBurger - yes, that’s a patty-sized fried cheese curd.
Still processing this - literally and figuratively.

Well. One of my wheels at least.
They can’t all be winners.

Got my daily walk in early today - Four miles or so amongst the fog and the animals at Fort Ben.

The legend: Puccini’s Campfire pizza. Summer sausage, sweet onion marmalade, gorgonzola & fresh rosemary.

When I think of hygge, I think of family time. Like this photo from New Year’s Eve last year.
To be that close and that together and that happy at the end of such a tough year brings me comfort even now.

Lots of bridges on yesterday’s hikes, but the highlights were the falls and the tunnel (from an abandoned railroad line) at Clifty Falls State Park.
(#mboct Day 10/30 … and posted from glorious home internet)
This part of this morning’s four mile hike didn’t feel safe, but turned out ok.
Highly recommend the trails at Clifty Falls - and the ranger-led Railroad History hike.

Missed twilight (barely), but got the tent set up for a weekend with the kids at Clifty Falls State Park.

Took the kids to the grocery store after school today, stopped by the spice rack for cinnamon.
Came home and cooked fish sticks and fries.
Livin that Dad Lyfe.
