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 ….
