Thompson, CT

We moved to West Thompson Lake campground in Connecticut on Sunday. It is a Corp of Engineers Park not far from the airport in Providence, RI. We are flying to Michigan on Friday and returning on Monday - going to attend Dave & Marion's 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration and see Mom. Not much to see and do here and yesterday was another rainy day so we went to the movies. We split up - I cried through "My Sister's Keeper" and Roger saw "Star Trek." I didn't have to sit through sci-fi and he didn't have to endure a chick flick. Plus we didn't have to share popcorn - worked out well! Have been planning our trip to New York city next week - what to see & do and making reservations for tours.
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:
The Good: Polly's Pancakes - advertised the best pancakes in the country and after 6 oatmeal buttermilk with pure maple syrup I have to agree! They serve them 3 at a time so they are warm to eat!
The Bad: We specifically asked if we could leave the motorhome unattended at this campground and were told yes - now the ranger says no way - so we have to move again tomorrow before we fly to Michigan.
The Ugly: The mosquitos remain #1 on the ugly list! Heather says they are horrible in Malaysia too. We talked to Samantha on SKYPE this morning (which is her bedtime, 12 hours later than us) and she had on her Christmas snowflake PJ's with long sleeves and legs with the Cinderella nightgown Judy found for her over the top! She loves her nightgown but has to wear the PJ's so the mosquitos can't bite her arms & legs at night! Sounds like a reason to come home to me!!!
