CT - New London "Grape Escape"

No official campground here - we had a great weekend visitng our friends Myra and Steve at their beach house (aka the Grape Escape) in New London and did the "camp driveway" thing in their driveway :)

Lucky for Theo - Ellie, Nate, and Jared were visitng for the weekend so he had buddies to play with!


The boys and a penguin at "Captain Scotty's"

It is so nice that Morgan was welcome (and got along swimmingly with the cats!) Once she settled in she really enjoyed the beach lifestyle.

And of course Theo was loving the beach!

VT - Little River State Park

We were on site #12. It was a HUGE site, we honestly think we could have just about pulled a wide u-turn rather than backing in. We were close to the swingset and comfort station, but far from the beach and boat launch. We left behind the yaks since we had touristy plans anyway, but next time we'll bring 'em and camp closer to the water.

Theo's running around...who is he playing with?

Aha...one of the ultra-tame chipmunks! They seemed to enjoy playing with Theo...and trying to get into our food.

My boys playing checkers at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury.

Of course we had to stop and pose for a good old cutout photo op.

the boys on the Ticonderoga at the Shelburne Museum. Very cool steamboat, and very cool museum!

Theo also got to try out a motorcycle at the Shelburne. What an eclectic mix of collections.

And of course, we visited Ben and Jerry's - yum!
