Taking It All In

As the boyfriend of this blogger, I was asked to add my own flavor to this soup. Ill pop in here and there to mix things up.

Mare and I get a lot of enjoyment out of finding quirky little places to spend our time, take some pictures, and enjoy each others company.  One such place is the Book Barn in Niantic, Connecticut. 

The Book Barn is just what it sounds like; an old barn converted to a used book shop.  But it is also a lot more.  On the premesis are ten or so buildings from plastic storage sheds to permanent structures to childrens wagons filled with every genre known to man. Known to this man, at least.

The atmosphere is built on a farms wholesomeness and spiced with scenic walkways and friendly house cats.  For Mare and I, it is a great place to spend a few hours snapping pictures and perusing the shelves.  On one trip, we didn't buy a single book, instead spending our time ''taking it all in''.
