We started the day off to a gloomy day and temperatures in the 60's. It rained most of the night and I loved every minute, because the sound is like that of a tin roof and very soothing! When I got out of bed this morning Kaylee tip toed in and asked if we could go fishing, so we grabbed the poles and headed down to a little pond in the campground. I caught a nice bass and she caught a couple frogs with her net. Both the kids have really taken to the fishing and I really enjoy teaching them how to cast the rods and just spend time with them!
We headed out to Mystic Seaport as our final stop on the Connecticut tour! We lucked out because they had a music festival this weekend and the music was all old nautical/mariner music songs - mostly a cappella! They had singers from all around the world show up to this event. Just about every building you walked into they were singing and you could just sit down and listen. Some of the crowd actually joined in with the choruses. They music had a very Scottish/Irish overtone and it was very interesting to me. My dad would really enjoy this music especially, because he was in the navy! We found a little place to rent a row boat, so we took one out and taught the kids how to row. As you can see by the pics they really enjoyed it! It was a nice overcast day which really added to the ambiance of the seaport. After leaving the seaport, we drove through downtown Mystic and saw the famous "Mystic Pizza" restaurant from the movie with Julia Roberts.
I'm typing to you from our new campground Normandy Farms in Foxborough, Massachusetts which was only a short 1-1/2 hour drive from Mystic! We will be heading into Boston tomorrow morning to let Norman ride his scooter for a local news station and then check out the city. Karen even worked a deal with the campground for free nights of camping in trade for a performance from Norman, Saturday night, for all the campground guests! At this stop we are looking forward to seeing Boston, the beaches of Cape Cod, Plymouth Rock and a whale watching tour!
