Date night

Mile: 102,677

The Mrs. and I were able to go out on the Town together to an amazing concert at South Farms in Morris, Connecticut. They took one of their farm fields and converted it to an outdoor concert venue. Food trucks kept our bellies full and Litchfield Distillery was there to provide beverages of the alcoholic variety. Limited to only 500 fans, the Mrs. was able to check one off the bucket list by getting to see Grace Potter perform in person. A beautiful night … with a beautiful woman. I must say, life is great!

Hope everyone has been enjoying their Winter! We started off the week with a bath for Ole Red. Luckily Action Jackson had his boots and was ready to jump right in. We then worked on our Easter Egg for the local Parks and Rec Easter Egg Hunt. As you can tell, Jackson has a thing for SpiderMan.

We got it up just in time for people to see! Today we take Ole Red out to find some of the over 350 done by other families! Keep smiling and stay tuned for our next adventure!

Destination: Warren Fall Festival

Destination: Warren Fall Festival

Mile: 101,062

Yet another amazing Fall day! First we had to fuel up Ole Red and then it was off to the Fall Festival in Warren, Connecticut. We took the scenic route, as always, and managed to experience axe throwing, tractor pulls, a Candy Land maze, and so much more including hanging out with Jackson’s buddy Logan whose Dad had a pumpkin cannon!!!! Boy did those pumpkins fly!!!

Oh and don’t tell Mom but we got an ole school pumpkin gun. Hopefully Jackson doesn’t shoot his eye out!

We then got lost coming home which might have been on purpose so we could experience a few extra roads.

The leaves are turning and Winter is knocking on our door but that won’t keep us down! Shout out to Ms. Sheilia who sported is having lunch and stopped by to say hi.

Until our next adventure ….
