Feels like fall out there. Yesterday we could hardly breathe the stuffy air. Today’s air feels crisp in my lungs. We’ve turned a page. We’ll still have warm days, but summer is past.
The Midland Railroad Hotel is featured on the blog today. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat! Here are a few extra pictures to whet your appetite. If you want to know about the phone booths you’ll have to read my post. See the link in my bio or go to JaneMTucker dot com.
If you were in Boston for just 24 hours where would you go first? To the Make Way for Ducklings sculpture in Boston Public Gardens?
Jon and I are sitting in an airport hotel in Providence, RI, preparing to fly home tomorrow after a wonderful vacation. I took him to Newport, where my naval officer dad was stationed when I was in elementary school. Aquidneck Island holds a special place in my heart, and it did not disappoint! We walked the beach, hiked along the coastline, and ate seafood to our hearts’ content. To top it all off we shared the adventure with my lifelong friend Susie, who lived across the street from me in those long-ago days.
New on the blog: Saint Fidelis Basilica, the Cathedral of the Plains. I always wondered about the spires on the horizon at the Victoria, Kansas exit off I-70. Beautiful building! A story of immigrant faith and fortitude.
Today’s blog post is about my research in Hays, Kansas. I learned so much about the history of Ellis County and how to run a successful research trip!
