New England

I spent a week and a half touring the New England area at the twilight of summer. I went through Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine! Visiting the cities and towns of Boston, North Adams, Burlington, Portland, Bar Harbor, as well as driving through the expanse of back roads to each of these destinations.

I’ve wanted to check out the New England area for a long while. I didn’t know why but something would always draw my attention there. Recently, I’ve been doing some digging into my family history and discovered that there were people on both sides of my family who lived in the area! I found out that for four generations I had ancestors who lived in Rutland, Vermont after I visited!! How much of my wants and desires are connected through generations without me even knowing it? How connected am I to these people who died hundreds of years before I even lived?

I think my newest goal in life is to get a little cottage/studio in that area and just create things. I have never felt so creatively invigorated then I was on that trip.
