Today’s installment should be very brief…
There’s absolutely nothing to write about…
Having said our good byes to relatives and friends, we were on our own again, and took the opportunity to sleep in this morning…
As we slummed our way through the nine o’clock hour, Luanne thought she needed a COSTCO fix, and went on the internet to find locations…
Milford had the closest one, a mere 56 miles away, but when my woman needs a fix, she get’s it, so we were soon driving South on I-95.
Unfortunately, the freeways (or turnpikes, as they call them here) in Connecticut have all been constructed in the middle of dense forests, or they’ve planted enough trees and bushes along them to block any kind of view into the countryside… Really a shame, if you ask me, ‘cause I’m sure there are some pretty nice sites out there somewhere… We just didn’t drive in an area where it was possible to see more than a few feet off the road… Hence, hardly any pictures today, and the few pictures we took shows… Well, you be the judge: http://cid-44d18849bf3983e9.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/NEW%20HAVEN%5EJ%20MILFORD%5EJ%20and%20WEST%20HAVEN%5EJ%20CONNECTICUT%20%5E5SEP.%2030%5EJ%202009%5E6?nl=1&uc=9&isFromRichUpload=1
That’s about it… We spotted an IKEA (I believe it was in New Haven) right off the freeway, and stopped for a two-for-one breakfast… Pretty darn good it was, and dirt cheap! $5.49 for two! Of course, that didn’t include all the little goodies we purchased from the grocery department… Oh, yeah, we’re gonna have great snacks for a long time!
As I said, our goal was to go to COSTCO (which “Jack” found without causing any ill feelings on my part), and we managed to stock up on books, and other “important” things, so, mama was happy!
Decided to take a run out to the beach, and found the whole side trip drab, to say the least… Maybe it was the overcast… Maybe not… In any case, we didn’t like it, and headed back to Old Mystic…
Have to mention, though, that we saw a sign leading to the Coast Guard Academy, and we saw, out in the sound, the Coast Guard Schooner? Brigantine? What? In any case, a Tall Ship with many masts and stuff… So our thoughts went to my nephew, Mike, who went there, and is now the commander at the Coast Guard Station in New Orleans. Happy memories, Mike?
Back home we had a little rest, then had a marvelous shrimp salad dinner with corn on the cob… First meal Lu has fixed in a while… And, I attest, she has not lost her touch!
That’s it… No more tonight… Don’t know what we’ll be doing tomorrow, so, I guess we’re open to suggestions!
Take care and keep in touch.
