This is another post to get us caught up again.
We left New Jersey around 8:00 on Thursday morning to head to Connecticut. The traffic was heavy in some spots and we ended up on some narrow roads and we were exhausted so upon arrival in Clinton, CT we decided that the only option was an afternoon nap after getting up at 6:00 am to leave. Zachary and Carson watched television and Brian and I took a power nap so we would have energy for eating dinner at Pepe’s Pizza. Pepe’s Pizza was featured on the History Channel. The pizza was baked in a coal oven and served on a large cookie sheet. Our cheese pizza was a rectangle shaped with a crispy crust and it was cut into rectangle shaped pieces instead of triangle, who knew we would be testing Carson on his shapes in a pizza restaurant. The pizza was really good and the boys were treated to a pitcher of Coke instead of having to drink water. After dinner we walked down Wooster Street which had signs stating it was an Italian village. There were several other Italian restaurants and bakeries along with homes and a large church. Our next stop was at Lowes to purchase boards to go underneath our leveling jacks on the motor home. Next to Lowes was Wal-Mart for our weekly grocery trip. We learned that Connecticut charges five cents for every can or bottle with the option of returning them to be recycled. The cashier told me this deposit was an effort for the state to cut down on plastic and aluminum in their landfills. At 10:00 pm we were leaving Wal-Mart to return to the motor home.
On Friday we made arrangements to meet one of Carson’s classmates from Veritas, Garrett at his grandparents summer home in Niantic, CT approximately 45 minutes from Clinton, CT. The weather was slightly rainy and foggy but the boys did not care that the temperature was only 72 degrees they wanted to play in the sand. Once it started to rain harder, Josh, Garrett’s dad invited us in to have lunch and wait for the rain to stop. While we were having lunch the sun started peeping from behind the clouds and the rain stopped. After lunch the boys enjoyed the water which we were told was a mere 59 degrees along with all the sand toys and a metal detector. Josh taught the boys how to search for treasures and Brian and Zachary found two pieces of metal in the sand but no rings or coins. Around 3:30 we said goodbye to Josh and Garrett and headed home. Just after dinner, which was spaghetti tacos (homemade spaghetti served in hard taco shells a recipe from ICarly), we experienced a severe thunder storm that produced funnel clouds in nearby towns. After the thunderstorm we had no more internet which crippled our blog posting, sorry that is the reason we are behind.
On Saturday we decided to stay at the campground and enjoy just sitting outside under the awning. We met our neighbors, on the left the couple was from Massachusetts and on the right they were from Connecticut. We spend about an hour talking to our neighbors from MA learning about what we needed to see up north. On Saturday night Zachary and Carson enjoyed roasting marshmallows with our neighbors from CT and their family. Saturday was a very nice relaxing day enjoying time with new friends. Our departure from Clinton, CT was on Sunday so Brian and I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast on the patio before starting our departure procedures. Off to Cape Code, Massachusetts for a few days and then Littleton, Massachusetts which is outside of Boston.
