CT Family & Friends

We are enjoying staying at “Noel’s Resort”.  They upgraded this year to include picnic tables for Happy Hours, huge fire pits and private pools for water aerobics!  They also offer nightly activities such as “Pegs” (a fun competitive home made board game).

Having 30 amp and water is also an added benefit!

Saturday we had a college graduation party for Katie (my cousin/Bill’s niece).  She received her bachelors degree in Healthcare Administration.  She achieved this while raising two precious girls and working fulltime.  So proud of you KT!  We met my other cousins puppy “Romeo”.

Spent time with Jr and his “work-in-progress” HO train display.  Bill had a similar train layout he built when his sons were young.  His dad worked for The New Haven Railroad and my dad was an engineer for the Maine Central Railroad.  Bill is building an N-scale train layout in the RV.

Had lunch this weekend at “Cosi’s Restaurant” in Avon.  The Caribbean chicken & spaghetti squash bowl was outa this world delicious!  Hope we find another of these somewhere in our travels!

Yesterday we went to Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket with our friends Pete & Diana to play Bingo.  Lots of fun but no winnings.  Enjoyed walking around the resort and seeing all the new additions (such as Tanger Outlets).

Within the Resort they have High Rollers Bowling Lanes!! Wicked fancy!!

. . . and who knew Foxwoods has a COW!!!

Today we had lunch at Blackie’s Hotdog Stand in Cheshire.  Their hotdogs and homemade relish are awsome!  They’ve been in business since 1928 and only serve hotdogs, burgers, chips, milk and soda and … being a Catholic family … are closed every friday.

We also made a visit to the cemetery today …

Our afternoon ended with Bill & Dave installing a new upgraded Fantastic vent in the RV.  Great job boys!!

Tomorrow Melo Yelo gets an oil change and we visit with Jr & Kevin again.  Our stay in CT is winding down.  More visits and then goodbyes as we head to Maine Friday. ..

P.S. Bill had a few pics on his phone… casino and sunrise at Noel Resort.  We also drove by Mohegan Casino Resort on the river.

  1. That train layout is awesome !!! Before we decided to sell everything and live the rv lifestyle… we had about 300 cars and five engines and track that was about 50′ long … what a set up we had !! I didn’t sell our N scale train though I always wanted to make a coffee table mini village display like a shadow box … just haven’t done it yet !!! Looks like you are having a blast visiting everyone on your way to Main !!! Continue to be safe and have the trip of a lifetime together !!
