Rhode Island, Connecticut & Massachusetts in one day !!

On a scale of one to five (five being best), today was a dismal "one." I'm in Massachusetts again; I've been in Rhode Island and Connecticut, too!! I drove to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut and experienced the parking problem I faced yesterday at Newport, Rhode Island. ("Will I never learn??") Discouraged..., I returned to Rhode Island (and you can read about a unique experience on the next blog).

I'm headed for Plimoth (Plymouth) Plantation in Plymouth, Massachusetts. That was an original destination on Friday (or was it Thursday?).

I "sought" (Mystic Seaport); I "fought" (tourist traffic);
I "aught" (to "know better"); I "bought" (bottle of tea);
I "wrought" (made my exit).

I found Bluff Point State Park at Groton, Connecticut, but "No overnight parking." After a walk... and a bite to eat in my T@B, I decided it was time to head North.

I saw a "camping" sign at approximately 1:30. I pulled off Interstate 95 (at exit 92) and discovered it was a KOA. My motto: "KOA, no way!"

FYI: "Yes, I'm in yet another Panera Bread." I didn't ask "Carmen" (my Garmin); I saw it as I drove by en route.... I don't even know the name of this town but "Carmen" told me there is a Wal-Mart less than one mile away.

Postscript: On a positive note, I can now list two more states among those I've visited. Perhaps I'll catch New Jersey and Washington D.C. on my return trip South?! (I know, "D.C." isn't a state but it's on the map I display in one window of the T@B.) Visitors love to look at all the places I've been!!
