Wow I could bow stall there!
After a restful morning and a jog around the town we were ready to continue our adventure. We found it – Stars Hollow – Well it is actually called Essex. It is a charming small town where we enjoyed chitchat with a local storeowner and engaged in playful banter with a baker regarding her pumpkin bread. My favorite part of the town was the historical homes with the original owner’s name and date posted on the front. Evan enjoyed the calm moving Connecticut River that flowed next to the town. We both agree that is beautiful countryside.
Our next destination was Mystic Seaport. We toured the village restored to resemble the original whaling town. We were able to walk through the only surviving wooden whaling ship and houses dated from 1676. We learned a new term – Bait Bucket. I plan on saving the use of this phrase for next time my Dad calls Evan “Meat head”.
From there it was over to Rhode Island, The Ocean State. Our last stop of the day was through Jamestown. There are beautiful homes on the location of one of America’s first settlements and a fantastic full operating lighthouse. We stopped for the night in Newport, Rhode Island. We are preparing for another adventure by sitting in a soothing Jacuzzi.

Just got back from the Plimouth Plantation. Cookie was great. Non pilgrim food rules as well as your adventure.
Hey, you get to do this part again, me, I wait until next year.
Let us know if the cheesecake thawed out. Maybe they will let you trade-in the cookie for a second cheesecake.

They cookie was good, but we still missed the cheesecake, and we missed it again! They served pie the second night. I wonder if the cold wind kept the cheesecake frozen :-)
We hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
