an easy to carry deck of cards helps girlawhirl explore the backroads of new england Sep 29, 2008

No matter how busy she is, or how quickly her fall calendar fills up, Girlawhirl makes a point to set aside one weekend to take in the New England foliage. It just wouldn't feel like autumn otherwise. She and Super Pals have had their routine down pat for so long that this year Girlawhirl decided it's time to shake things up a bit. So she's consulting a very special deck of cards that delivers 50 new ways to explore New England… Girlawhirl's getting off the beaten path this fall and heading for new fun courtesy of Backroads of New England: 50 northeast adventures. From Connecticut to Maine and everywhere in between, the easy to carry 50-card deck is Girlawhirl's pocket-sized answer to adventure New England Style. And the great thing is the adventures don't have to end when the last leaf falls. Some outings are best saved for winter – like exploring Route 100 in Vermont and hitting the slopes at Mount Snow, or shopping in the 24 hour LL Bean store in Freeport, Maine.
Featuring beautifully vibrant photos on each card, this extremely useful, numbered and color-coded by state, deck has already inspired Girlawhirl to plan a spring trip to see the gardens at the mansions in Newport's Gilded Age “cottages” (translation: mansions like the Vanderbilts' 120,000 square-foot Breakers). And for summer Girlawhirl might have to hit up the recreated 19th century seaport in Mystic, Connecticut and sample some of the pizza made famous by her favorite Julia Roberts '80s movie, Mystic Pizza. And with both the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos only a short distance away, Girlawhirl's pretty sure it won't be too hard to get the Super Pals to join her.
