Anyway, we made it and are still unpacking. Over the weekend we had to escape the madness and so we took the kids to Mashamoquet State Park. Its about 40 miles north east of Hartford. It was nice. The weather was in the 80's, very unusual for October, and we only got a little sprinkling of rain at night.
We swam in the pond and hiked the kids till their legs fell off. It was a good time, except when Tasha got stung on the cheek by a yellow jacket.
