Lights Off
Mile: 107,380 Well … all good things must come to an end… but not before the Christmas Cowboy got a few more nights in! After delighting Ole Red, we had altitude fun with Papa on a new site. Nothing like digging in some rock and…

Mile: 107,043 Action Jackson had an eventful day. He got to see his buddy Christopher randomly at the gas station. It was time to give back to our local community. Action Jackson got to learn another lesson about giving back to those less fortunate in…
Boo!
Mile: 106,970 Jackson had a great Halloween! He dressed up as flash and was able to go tricker or treating with his buddies Enzo, Luca and Graham! He also carved his special Monster Truck pumpkin with a lit up smokestack! Ole Red and Jackson certainly…
Apple Fritter
Mile: 106,940
The leaves are falling and there is a crispness in the air. So Jackson and I are in love with these Apple Fritters they have at the local fairs.
We did a little investigation and found out they setup shop at Tonn’s Marketplace in Burlington, CT. Tonn’s s a great store with all kinds of fresh stuff and farm animals for the kids to see. They also had a haybale maze!
We set out on a beautiful day for Operaton Apple Fritter. It was a great hour long ride and our patience paid off with bags and bags of Apple Fritters. Plus Jackson got to have some Orange Soda but a small batch bottling plant. Needless to say he loved it.
On the way back I got to live back through high school sports history passing through many of the Town and seeing many of the fields I used to play in. It was a hunch of great memories just like I know one day these will be as well!
Last Call
Mile: 106, 890 Well it was last call for Popey’s. We were lucky to know the last day of the season. I snagged Jackson out of school and off we went. There was a little coolness in the air but it was all good! Didn;t…
Barton Orchards
Mile: 106,850 As part of our pre-Halloween planning we had to check out this great find on Facebook … Barton Orchards. This is one of the largest apple orchards we have ever seen and they had a pumpkin patch too! This place was huuuggeee. They…
Dinner & Dessert
Mile: 106,703
Nothing like picking up Action Jackson on a Friday afternoon from school and taking him out in Ole Red for an adventure!
We went to the 202 Tavern on the Washington/New Milford town line. We hadn’t been here since a few years ago to warm up after we found our Christmas tree up at Angevine Farm.— at The 202 Tavern.
This was the epitome of dinner with a view! We snagged a seat right by the River which allowed Jackson to occupy himself while we waited. He even skipped (more like plopped) a few rocks.
After dinner, we washed it down with some ice cream at our favorite ice cream place in town … Carvel’s. I am not sure if it is because of Hassina and her daughter working there and their friendly service or the ice cream itself. 
Needless to say Jackson enjoyed gobbling it down as the sunset and we watched the glow of their neon sign from the back of the pickup bed.
Off to the next adventure!
Perfect Pumpkin
Mile: 106,780 It was time for us to find some pumpkins and the selection did not disappoint! We first went to Centerbrook Farm, run for generations by the Hipp family. They had some great gourds and some perfect pumpkins for carving. Then we headed off…
