We have made it to Connecticut and now the reason for the trip,
to see New England, begins. We have a very large site and the satellite works!
We woke up to pouring rain on our travel day, not sure if we
would be leaving our not. But it stopped
for a little while around 10AM and we were able to hook up the car and head out.
Because of the rain, the sky and views were magnificent.
Pennsylvania
The fog coming off the mountains
Interstate 84
New York
We only had to pay one toll this time - $20.00 to cross the Hudson River
Connecticut
The further north we get, the worse the condition of the roads. I know that it from, snow, ice and salt, but it makes for a very rough ride. I had to keep checking the back up camera to check my car was still with us, we were bouncing so much.
Seaport RV Resort
The bathhouse is very close and very clean. The only problem I saw was no grab bars and with a wet tile floor and shower shoes, that is an accident waiting to happen.
Really nice pool for the kids
Putt Putt Golf
Playground
Large covered picnic area - and a band played on Friday and Saturday night.
Lots of play areas
On Saturday, we got a monsoon rain storm. When it finally quit about 1:00, water was almost up to the motor home steps and covering the bottom of the picnic table legs..
We waded out and took a ride and the next thing we knew we were in Rhode Island! They say "two towns, two states.
We drove around and found US1A Scenic route and it was, but by then it was raining again so no pictures. We saw old grand homes along the way.
The road went south and ended at Watch Hill where the historic Ocean House is located. It is beautiful. It was built in 1868 and is one of ten triple 5-star resorts in the world.
Next we took US1A North and ended up on Atlantic Avenue, Misquamicut Beach. Unfortunately, we could not get on the beach, lots of access, but a charge at all locations.
Honor System
We stopped at a cute little produce stand, but no one was manning it
Then I saw the sign.
Lobster
I believe I may be addicted now. We ate out three times and each time we had lobster, just different ways. My favorite is the Lobster Roll. At the recommendation of our sales girl at the Harley Dealer, we went to Captain Scott's Lobster Dock for lunch.
That is where I had my first ever hot Lobster Roll and Wow! I understand all the hype about them now.
Next time we ate at Latitude 41 Restaurant & Tavern, located next to Mystic Seaport Museum. We were so tired. They actually had bud Light, one of two since we left GA (it's all IPA) and with it I had Lobster Mac and Cheese and Big Bob had lobster and asparagus wrap.
And for entertainment, a wedding was talking place down on the dock.
And our last lobster stop was in Misquamicut Beach, RI at the Two Little Fish Seafood Restaurant
This time lobster bisque.with fish and chips on the side.
Seen in the campground
I always wonder how something is big makes the tight turns
Really, you need that much power
Hope you enjoy all we did in this great area

Seaport RV Resort
This campground definitely lives up to it's reputation. Very nice! The only down side is no sewer, but they pump you out on day 4, so really no issue except I can't use the washer. He works everyday , most the day, and his trailer holds 280 gallon.
But we have free wifi with a strong signal, oh yeah! We were assigned site 17. For some reason Big Bob did not like the site and asked for the one 2 down form it but folks were coming in the next day so not a big deal, it would do. Once the slides were out, the jacks down and the coach leveled, he went to hook up the utilities and no power. Looks like my premonition powers are transcending to him. They relocated us to site 44, which is probably a seasonal person's site based on the gravel pad and the size. We are enjoying it!
