GOAT Days

GOAT Days

Mile: 111,458

Action Jackson and his bud Alejandra went down to GOAT Days. GOAT stands for Greatest Of ALL Towns put on by an awesome couple who lived in New Milford, Connecticut the town we live in. We are so lucky to have people like them live here. They put on this celebration of our Town. They had a carnival this year which took it to the next level!

We snagged some ice cream, Jackson won a few prizes for his girl and then we walked up to La Piccolina one of our favorite dinner spots. They make a ton of fresh Italian dishes. I had the grilled calamari and their filet special. Yummy in the tummy.

Then we checked out New Milford’s newest ice cream spot, Grass Roots. It was really good and they already had their ordering dialed in.

All in all a great day of adventures! Hope you had just as great of a day!

Antique Machinery

Antique Machinery

Mile: 111,318

We are so lucky to live near the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association! They had their spring start up. When we go there we were actually invited to be in the show so we had VIP parking!

Action Jackson always leaves with something neat here. This year he found nothing at the swap meet. He did find several rocks … as usual … he took home!

Spent some time with the blacksmith learning about metal and how it can be melded into something cool. Jackson was such a good study the blacksmith gave him the hook Jackson watched him make. How cool is that?

Action Jackson then got to sit o na bunch of his favorite tractors and we even went on the steam train ride.

By the end of the day he was all tuckered out. The measurement of a great day!

Hope the sun was shining where you were!
