We got here just in time for the Gypsy Moth caterpillar invasion... These little rascals are everywhere and pooping on everything... will need to wash the coach, truck and everything sitting outside. We were told they only last a week, then the moths are born in a couple of weeks. We should be out of here by the time the moth invasion happens!!
MYSTIC, CT
Only 30 mins south of here is Mystic, a very nice town on the Mystic River at the coast. Lots of shops, restaurants, museums and aquarium.
This is a historic draw bridge...
HARTFORD, CT
Took a drive to Hartford, the capital of Connecticut. Nice little town!
Visited the state capitol... what a fantastic building!!!!
We just happened to take a tour with a group of young girls that were escorted by a state representative. Because of this got to go inside the House of Representatives and the State Senate...
We also got to meet the Lt. Governor...
ESSEX, CT
A short drive from our site is Essex, CT. Here we visited a museum and took a steam locomotive ride and a boat ride down the Connecticut River. There is an old locomotive on display...
The train ride was nice in this old steam locomotive...
The views from the train are awesome!
The boat ride was just as nice!!!
The boat ride takes you right by Gillette Castle... This was the home of William Gillette, the actor who played Sherlock Holmes in the theatre... "Elementary Mr. Watson"
Went to my uncle's house in New Fairfield, CT for a fourth of July party... Toby had a great time!!!
CT was beautiful, but now it's time to move to Rhode Island!!!
