KW & CJ Head Up North to visit the Colonies

KW, please get in the Jeep, we are ready to head up North. Tour guide, have you looked in the Jeep lately?  Mrs. tour guide has done it again.  What's that KW?  The Jeep is full and no space for us to sit again.  Just get in and buckle up.  Ok, ok, but we will be cramped in the back.  By the way, what are the colonies?  I'll explain later.  Okie Dokie, lets head em and move em out, rawhide.  KW, I think you watched way to much TV in the 50's and 60's.  If you say so tour guide.  Oh, tour guide, I wrote a song for the trip.  Ok KW, I can't wait, lets hear it.  OK, here goes. I call it on the road again.  KW I think you are doing it again.  Well just listen.  On the road again, Goin' places that I've never been, Seein' things that I may never see again, and I can't wait to get on the road again.  Sorry KW, that was nice, but Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson already wrote and sang it.  Dang, I just can't seem to get an original tune, but I will keep trying.

First stop, Weir Farm NHS in Wilton, CT.

PS:

The Thirteen Colonies:
were a group of British colonies on the east coast of North America founded in the 17th and 18th centuries that declared independence in 1776 and formed the United States of America.  Yes KW, we will visit Vermont and Maine which were not part of the original 13.


Weir Farm National Historic Site:
is located in Wilton Connecticut.  It commemorates the life and work of American impressionist painter J. Alden Weir and other artists who stayed at the site or lived there, to include Childe Hassam, Albert Pinkham Ryder, John Singer Sargent, and John Twachtman.  Weir farm is one of two sites in the National Park Service devoted to the visual arts, along with Saint-Guadens National Historic Site.


TTFN:

Hey wait, KW here. Tomorrow I will show a pix of just how little room I have in the Jeep.  Jason, you will be able to relate to this.  I over heard the tour guide talking and laughing about you in the back of the Suzuki Jeep.  Well, just wait to see me in the back.
