Photo Scavenger Hunt Contest

My first (hopefully annual?) scavenger hunt contest is now LIVE! Instead of a gift guide this year I am trying something new, although you can still check out my gift guides from 2018, 2019, and 2020. All the items are still in vogue and all the ideas and suggestions are still my go to gifts- the gift of time and the gift of adventure!

Take a look at NINE photos featuring some of our favorite adventures from 2021. Each photo can be found on a blog post from 2021, so if you need a little help, check back to our adventures here. Fill out this google form, listing either the attraction or city and state of each photo. The contest ends on November 21st, 2021 12am EST. If you need a little help, be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as we’ll be giving hints about each of the locations over the next two weeks.

Would you like to save this?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later.

Two winners will be randomly selected from all correct entries to receive one of our new favorite books: 50 Hikes with Kids New England by Wendy Gorton. This beautifully photographed, well researched book includes hikes throughout all six New England states with tons of tips about the trails, facilities, and nearby attractions.

Fine print: Contest is open to all residents of the continental United States and is open from November 2nd (6am) through November 21st (12am) EST. Winners will be contacted via email and will have 7 days to respond before another winner is randomly selected from correctly completed forms. Kids are encouraged to participate with parental permission. GOOD LUCK!

One special highlight is our 2016 trip to Disney World that included BOTH sets of grandparents.

    10 Must Have Hiking Supplies

    Our 2020 rescheduled road trip is coming up soon and our whole family is getting excited. While we’re keeping our itinerary a secret, you’ll be able to gather from this post, and some of our most recently themed posts, that we will be doing a lot of hiking (which our family defines as walking outside for a few miles on a well marked path). You can read about some of the Connecticut places we have explored for hiking (again, we’re using that term loosely) in this post, this post, this post, and this post. We are NOT serious hikers, and at first thought we didn’t necessarily need anything other than sneakers for a hike.

    10 Ways to Explore the Florence Griswold Museum in Lyme, Connecticut

    We enjoy visiting art museums with our children. Some people may think art museums are not an ideal spot to bring children, but there are a whole variety of reasons why you should- read them in this post. We’ve recently been researching local museums in Connecticut and were pleased to see that the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme is open and taking very good steps to honor pandemic restrictions and keep everyone safe and healthy.

    Home to military sea captain Robert Griswold and his family in the middle 1800s until Florence Griswold’s death in 1937, the 12 acre estate includes art galleries, the main mansion, three additional structures with exhibits, an artist trail, gift shop, and seasonal cafe. The Griswold family harvested a large collection of gardens, producing much of the food the family ate, and later served to guests. Griswold inherited the home from her family and began welcoming boarders in 1899 as a way of making money. Up to 18 artists, who became known as the Lyme Art Colony, would stay in the home at one time,. Famous guests include President Woodrow Wilson and his first wife, an aspiring artist. Old Lyme became known as one of the biggest Impressionist art colonies in America, in large part to the Griswold campus. Today, it is open to visitors and welcomes families to explore what life was like for the artists in the early 20th century.
