Summer outings

This weekends golf and gluttony trip has piqued my interest towards getting out of Boston. Might I throw the following ideas in the direction the social calendar? - The Herreshoff Maritime Museum in Bristol RI They have some of the most beautiful boats ever made and i expect there are also opportunities for ice cream and the beach. - Pre-Moose Canoeing I love canoeing, its up there with drug abuse and sleeping as one of my favourite hobbies. Would anyone be interested in some 1 day outings, perhaps a bit of white water? Of course not having a canoe is a minor setback, but im sure that could be remedied. I would be more than willing to stump up some cash for a communal canoe. - Bike Trips Im up for any kind of bike trip - from poodling through the park to centuries, not really set up for bike touring though. Anyone fancy doing some reasonably long (60 miles plus) rides? - Sailing Starting next week or so I can take a max of 3 people at a time out sailing on the boats at my work - would be some weekday evenings and whenever I had a day off. We can sail around the harbour islands and have a picnic or something. I will let y'all know the schedule - The Beach - Road trips anywhere Strip malls still have the power to make me feel foreign

There's a crashed plane in the woods, a bit south of Dana Common. Worth a look if you're wandering around that area.

CTP, I can provide transport for the R.I. trip and may I suggest taking in a Pawtucket Red Sox game afterwards. I also have a Yankee magazine from 5 yrs ago that rated the Top 5 diners in the 6 NE states and a diner tour would be another way to continue the gluttony...I still could be persuaded to take in the Montreal Jazz Festival altho it may conflict with Thirths and baby showers.

I like RI, baseall and diners! And am happy with most of the other suggestions as well.

Cambridge ingrates drink from the Alewife. Lynn ingrates drink from Walden, Breed's and Birch Ponds in the Lynn Woods. But yes, a trip to the Quabbin would be fun.

Every night, I take my son's sippee of milk left over from dinner, add a little Morning Glory ™ coffee syrup, and kick it RI style.
