What a beautiful place New London is!! I think your pictures. Are good. My favorite the steeple
So good to know that you & Holly & mom & dad enjoyed some good food by the water !! Say hello to all from me ❤️Blessings hugs
Hi Chris and Holly So glad that you had such a wonderful time with your parents at New London. It looks like an amazing place. Eventually John and I want to take a vacation up through Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. I Have always wanted to make that trip. We have rain again today. The ground is so saturated that we are under a flood warning until Thursday morning. We are actually supposed to get rain right through Thursday. The creeks and rivers are really high with all the rain we have had and some of them are already flooding. I am glad that we no longer live by the river!!! Love the pictures of New London. The lighthouse is amazing. It looks like it is perched all by itself in the middle of the ocean!! I don't know if I would want t visit it though if it is haunted!! I am not very brave when it comes to haunted places. I just like to see them from far off!!!
Hope you and Holly have a great day today. Hugs to you both--John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
