I want to be a surfer. I know the sport seems much cooler than I am. Plus, I'm a woman, and a mom, and not terribly athletic. Still, I want to be a surfer...]]> http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/09/08/surfing-middletown/feed/ 3 michelemeek Surfing http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/31/sweetberryfarm/ http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/31/sweetberryfarm/#comments Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:30:12 +0000 Michele Meek http://therhodelesstraveled.com/?p=202
There are so many reasons to love Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown, RI. On their 100 acre farm, they grow vegetables (beets, carrots, corn, salad greens, squash, etc.), fruits (apples, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, etc.), flowers, and trees. Their extensive pick-your-own schedule begins with strawberries in early June and ends in December with Christmas trees.]]> http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/31/sweetberryfarm/feed/ 1 michelemeek Sweet Berry Farm Picking Berries peach http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/25/simmons-farms-petting-zoo/ http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/25/simmons-farms-petting-zoo/#comments Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:00:09 +0000 Michele Meek http://therhodelesstraveled.wordpress.com/?p=150
Simmons Farm -- what a sweet little stop along the side of Route 114 in Middletown, RI. Not only do they have a farm stand with the best corn on Aquidneck Island (which we refer to as 'crack corn' for its addictive properties), but they also have a petting zoo.]]> http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/25/simmons-farms-petting-zoo/feed/ 0 michelemeek Simmons Farm Petting Zoo http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/10/the-dawg-house/ http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/10/the-dawg-house/#comments Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:11:51 +0000 geoffmeek http://therhodelesstraveled.wordpress.com/?p=80
Hot dogs are not hard to make well, and here they follow all of the standard rules: there is a large cabinet outside for daily roll deliveries; the rolls are steamed, soft and fresh; and the hot dogs are high-quality New York style hot dogs -- long and thin with a juicy snap when you bite into them. So far so good...]]> http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/10/the-dawg-house/feed/ 2 geoffmeek Where's the Hot Dog? http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/08/id-rather-be-at-frosty-freez/ http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/08/id-rather-be-at-frosty-freez/#comments Sat, 08 Aug 2009 02:17:59 +0000 Michele Meek http://therhodelesstraveled.wordpress.com/?p=5
If you have a soft spot for soft serve, you must immediately head to Frosty Freez in Middletown, RI. I have to admit, I have something of an obsession with ice cream and soft serve to the point where my husband once asked me last summer if it was okay that our 18-month old daughter ate ice cream daily. As I discovered, a cookie or a chocolate could be eaten on the sly, but an ice cream cone is hard to conceal from a toddler.]]> http://therhodelesstraveled.com/2009/08/08/id-rather-be-at-frosty-freez/feed/ 1 michelemeek Frosty Freez
