Going to visit several pipe shops in the Northeast this coming week. Pretty stoked!

Sounds like a fun treasure hunt! Whenever I travel, I look for pipe/cigar shops if I have time. Never looked for them in the NE states; I haven't been up that way for 20 years or so. Went to DC in 1996 for an EPA training that lasted a week; didn't have time to look for pipe shops but did get to see most of the monuments and the White House.

What else you gonna do besides look for smoke shops? I'd like to visit Iwan Ries.

Oh, we'll do a lot of the usual tourist stuff.
We are packing a lot of stuff in a short amount of time, so we won't get to do everything.

Going to the Smithsonian Museum of American History in DC as well as the Vietnam memorial. We'll likely hit up a monument or two I imagine.
In NYC we're going to be staying a night in Times Square and only spending two days there. We're going to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. The wife wants to go to Central Park of course. My daughter and I are both science nerds so we will likely visit the Hayden Planitarium.
The few days we will spend in Connecticut and Vermont will be more relaxed, antiquing and spending time with family there. May go find a lighthouse or two around New Haven.
