Our Connecticut adventures brought us to the Pez factory! We were lucky enough to visit during a weekday while the factory was in production.

We are making our way north for the summer and our first stop without our RV is West River Farm in beautiful West River, Maryland. The farm is home to our great friends, the Daigles, and a family get together was long overdue. We have enjoyed days of sunshine and catching up, hours on the
