My Sunday Drive Bucket List

When I was a kid my grandparents would go for Sunday drives. Off to some flea market or visit with family. This is something I want to do more of - take a day to go see someplace new or revisit places in different seasons. I keep a running list on my fridge of places I want to visit - local ones - places I can go with my husband or friends for a day. When I am scrolling through Instagram I save pictures of places I would like to visit and make a note on my list.

Do you keep a list? What places are on your list? Do you have suggestions for me?

St. Paul's, Stockbridge

One of the buildings we strolled past in Stockbridge was St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. It’s a beautiful stone building with gorgeous stained glass. Imagine the time it takes to build a beautiful church from stone or the creativity it takes to create a stained glass piece of art. Whenever I see a beautiful church I think of a book I read by Ken Follet, The Pillars of the Earth. It centers around the building of a cathedral in the 12th century, when it would take hundreds of years to complete. Imagine working to build something like that and never see it completed? So when I can I explore the old churches to appreciate the architecture and craftsmanship.

Is there a church in New England that you love and I should visit? Drop me a note below.
