Mile: 110,280 Well, this was a first for Jackson… some apple picking. We went to Averill Farm in Washington, Connecticut. It is the same apple orchard my parents took me to when I was a kid. They had all kinds of different apples as you…
Mile: 110,120 The Connecticut Antique Machinery Association puts on one of the best shows of the year that we go to. They have preserved all kinds of old antique machinery including dozers, tractors, implements, diggers, sawmill and even a rock crusher. They have an old…

One thing Jackson is sure of … every day is a good day for ice cream! Off to see one of our favorites, Hassina, and her family working hard at Carvel! Good to the last spoon!
Mile: 109,720 Kicking off the fair season we stopped by good old Bridgewater Fair! It’s fun to watch the years go by in Jackson’s eyes. When he was younger the sights of it were his thing and we gave him sensory overload. Now as he…
Mile: Might Not Have Been in Ole Red We took a little last minute adventure out of state to Cape Cod! We got to get our pirate on in a very cool mini golf course! AAAAAARRGGGGHHHHH!!!! We also got to check out some lighthouses, beaches,…

Off to our second fair of the year, the Goshen Fair! This is personally one of my favorites because … well…. Apple fritterrrrssss and Nodine’s beef jerky!!!!!! Nodine’s Smokehouse has been making beef jerky since well before I was a kid myself and Action Jackson has taken a liking to it just like his old man!
Luckily, we were able to beat the badly needed rain that came after we left.
This fair is awesome because they still have lumberjacks. It was fun to watch those high horsepower saws start up and cut through those logs like a hot knife through butter.
We of course had to take a seat and enjoy the tractor pull and our good neighbor John Hall was in it so that was fun to see. We even came back for Round 2 and entered a raffle to win our very own antique tractor. Not sure where we will put it if we win but I am sure we will figure it out!
Heather was able to get her apple crisp and chowder bowl. There was a slight emergency as Chowderheads was not in their usual location. After some anti-anxiety medication, Heather quickly realized they were still there just in a different spot. Crisis averted!
Got to see all the lego displays done by kids, fruits and veggie competition, rides, games, animals of all kinds but we missed the barrel horse racing … I told Action there is always next year!
We also got to see a magician which mesmerized Jackson and took the “Action” out of him as he did not want to leave. We also got to see a dog comedy show which as odd as it sounds had Jackson belly laughing.
After having lemonade (3 times at least), slushy, apple crisp, chowder, lobster rolls, curly fries, fried Oreos, ice cream, chicken tenders and jerky it was time to roll ourselves home!

We knew it had the potential to be the perfect night and it was! It’s that time of year … FIREWORKS!!!!!!
Not a cloud in the sky and the perfect temperature as the sun set we patiently awaited for it to get dark and then BOOM … KAPOW!
Traveling home it became apparent that Action Jackson might have thrown in the towel after the sun sucked the energy out of him from a day at the beach with a fireworks nightcap.
Hope your adventures were plentiful today!

Mile: 109,490 One of Action Jackson’s favorite times of the year is Pratt Nature Center! It is like the days of old where you are kicked outside and get to enjoy nature all day, like it was meant to be. Did a little face painting…
