Connecticut - Part Two

After our return from New York and Washington we had one week left in Plainfield before we flew back to Salt Lake City and our RV. The fall colours were still evident but there were many more trees that had completely lots their leaves.We managed a few walks in the area and really enjoyed being among the fall colours.

The next big thing on the agenda was Halloween. Symi had decided to go as a cat and we had put together an appropriate outfit. We have been amazed at the decorations here for Halloween. There are carved pumpkins everywhere and people decorate their front gardens. The night of Halloween turned out a little cold and drizzly but we had a great time going around the houses in the dark collecting copious amounts of candy. Simone also had the opportunity to go to a Halloween Party, with Lori the girl she met up the road, which was fun.

 We have been out for a few lunches at the local diners which has been fun. Symi loves playing tunes on the jukeboxes they have on the tables.

 Thanks to John and Rae (and their grandson Aaron who gave up his room!) for being so kind and welcoming to us. We loved our month in the east and it was lovely to catch up with family.
