Iowa City 2018

Kevin went to graduate school at the Univerity of Iowa in Iowa City and though I've wanted to go see the city for years, this was my first opportunity to do so. Kevin showed me around his old stomping grounds, though we couldn't go drink at his favorite bars because ... kids.

Keuka Lake, Finger Lakes 2017

Thursday we went around the Keuka Lake area. We started in Penn Yan with ice cream at Seneca Farm.

Miranda always gets "pink" ice cream- this time cherry.

Next we went to another bookstore. I love bookstores and we don't have many near our home.

Then we hit two wineries and a brewery! Keuka winning.

Cape Cod Date- June 2016

We didn't even try to go out while we were on the Cape, but Grandma Kathy in her infinite kindness sent us out to do something on Monday afternoon. We stopped by this bookstore that we love walking around in, though truthfully we never buy anything. We should correct that on our next visit.

Kevin wanted to do a little hiking. We went to the Barnstable Great Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary. The fact that I currently only have sneakers (my hiking boots fell apart on my birthday hike this year) is less of an issue on the Cape where the hikes are mostly flat.

Kevin explained to me that these rocks are "erratics." Apparently that's a rock that differs from the surrounding rock and is believed to have been brought to the area by a glacier.

For lunch we went to one of our favorite places, Sesuit Harbor and got lobster rolls. Then we went to not-my-favorite ice cream at The Ice Cream Smuggler.

Astoria Book Swap 2014

On Saturday, Kevin had his second book event, not a reading this time- but a book swap- at the Astoria Bookshop in Queens.  For once, I don't have to write all about it because Kevin already did on his publisher Black Balloon's blog: http://airshipdaily.com/blog/kevin-clouther-we-were-flying-to-chicago-book-swap.

Here are some fun pictures I took of the Book Swap:
