Our Connecticut adventures brought us to the Pez factory! We were lucky enough to visit during a weekday while the factory was in production. They are currently working on orders for Christmas and we watched them box up 12 packs. The factory has a fun bingo game to play while looking at all the dispensers. […]
Last Friday we went to Ocmulgee mounds and it was quite an interesting visit. Ocmulgee mounds is located near Macon, GA. The contract to establish the park was signed in 1936 by President Franklin Roosevelt naming the park, Ocmulgee National Monument, though in 2019 the park was renamed Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park.
