Woodstock, CT

Woodstock, CT camp site

We arrived Sunday about 2:30, we were in no hurry on the trip so it was slow up and down all the hills.  It was a beautiful ride, great weather until about 4:00 when the weather started to change.   The dark clouds were rolling in, the thunder rumbled and the rain dumped.  Brad managed to cook burgers in between rain showers, and then we just hung out with the Olympics on.  The camp site is lovely, and with a little maintenance, the whole campground could be great.  But for a couple of days, we are happy with our little piece of the CT.



Chamberlain Lake,
wish I had a Kayak

Monday we headed out to find the Thousand Trails CG which is about 10 miles away, and with that done, we decided where we are is just fine.  From there off to Sturbridge MA, about another 10 miles from Thousand Trails.  What a great place with lots of shops, antique, junk, coffee, wine etc, the one shop we found I swear was a block long and 1/2 block deep and yes you could get lost in it.  Then we would move on and I don't know why we would get back in the car....I would just make Brad pull over down the block.  We did have a late lunch, Thai, so we shopped until about 6:30 then headed home.

Tuesday Brad finished up the military retirement papers that need submitted, so about 1:00 we head out trying to find an easy way out of here with the RV but we ended up in the Massachusetts and it was a long drive to the interstate so back to where we started and we'll try again tomorrow.  On our way out today we found this Christmas Shop that was in a barn and covered every square inch of it.  They weren't open, but left us shop on the first floor, I could have spent the whole day there if it all would have been open, as it was we were there almost an hour for one floor.  We ended up back at Sturbridge at the Feathered Friend Shop and after about a half hour, I finally bought a bird feeder I can use in the RV....my feathered friends will be happy.  We headed home about 4:00 to have chicken and zucchini on the grill....delicious.  But dinner is done, and I'll guess I'll be back tomorrow.
