Visiting Plymouth Notch, Vermont​

August 3rd 2023 was the 100th anniversary of the first inauguration of Calvin Coolidge as the 30th president of the United States of America at his fathers home in Plymouth Notch.
We weren't able to attend the inauguration reenactment ceremony on August 3rd since it was during the work week but we did go on the following Saturday when they had a second inauguration reenactment ceremony.

Stop and Shop in Amherst Massachusetts​

Stop and Shop is owned by Ahold Delhaize who also own the Hannaford grocery chain in Vermont and Maine.
These were two things I noticed in the Stop and Shop store in Amherst Massachusetts that I had not seen in use at any other stores.

A visit to Avery Island LA - The home of Tabasco sauce​

We went to New Orleans in August 2021 to get my older son setup at college there and being a long time fan of Tabasco sauce I really wanted to visit the Tabasco facility on Avery Island while we were close by. It was about a 3 hour drive there via Baton Rouge and Lafayette on I-10. We came back the shorter way on US-90 through Morgan City, which is about a 2 hour drive.
